Grocery shopping for me's
To pick items from shelves
Place then in the basket
And rush to the checkout.
Quick and easy it seems
It's more said so than done
Struggle starts with search
Items missing on the shelf.
Finding someone and asking
To find items that're needed
Takes time that has not been
Accounted for in the plan.
Next there's trouble waiting
At the counter standing in line
Every other line moves faster
Machine out of tape at my turn.
What I expected to be fast
Turns out longer several-fold
We plan for things one way
They turnout altogether different.
