everyone should work retail & then they won’t want to shop UNLESS it’s necessary…women are the worse in the stores, especially in clothing stores..i would rather work in the men’s department than the women’s any day of the year…but i would rather work in a grocery store well before a clothing store..(from a seasoned former worker in both stores)
He needs to go in and hold her hands. She may think it is romantic but it reduces the number of things she buys. And if she catches on, say “I am just trying to protect you from all the germs on the stuff from all the previous people touching them.”
My stepdad (RIP) loved to go shopping. He could almost always find something he thought someone he knew could use (being one of the most thoughtful & generous people who ever walked this earth, he mostly shopped with an eye for everyone else!). The one place he refused to walk into was the fabric store after the time he needed something cut & the biddies at the cutting table ignored him, thinking he was there “with someone” the way most men in such places seem to be. He’d drive mom there & sit in the car with his Nook until she got done & came back out.

Shopping: a favourite sport or pastime of women.
Purchasing: what a man does only when necessary.

I like the ’60s hippy/stoner paint job. Does it say, “Flower Power!” on the back?

Women shop, men hunt…

You should at least leave him your knitting bag for something to do while you’re gone…
