Impulse buying; I’ve perfected it to a fine art and the Big Box Stores know just how to play on my weaknesses. How else would they know just what I’m in the mood for when I walk in? The really weird thing is I didn’t even know I wanted/needed the particular item that was prominently displayed right as I walked in. I’ve also heard tell that the powers-that-be have figured out what music to play and smells to pipe throughout the store that gets shoppers ‘in the mood’ to throw down their hard-earned dollars.
