You know what it’s like - you’re standing in a long queue at Boots and before you get to the till to pay for your goods, your eye has been caught by sweets, tights and minature toiletries. By the time you actually get to the till your shopping costs a few pounds more than it would’ve done if you hadn’t been tempted on the journey to pay! It’s the same in the supermarkets where chocolate bars and magazines are screaming out ‘buy me’ as you wait your turn in the queue. It doesn’t even stop when it’s your turn. There you are emptying your goods onto the conveyor belt and boxes of cut-price CDs are resting on the side saying ‘Go on, add me to your shopping!’ I know it’s a deliberate ploy by the retailers and for them, it makes good business sense, but why do I have to be such a sucker and succumb? What is it about items that I’ve ignored whilst walking around the store that suddenly becomes so tempting when I’m standing in the queue? Boredom probably! I’m not even safe in Topshop these days - bags of sweets and bangles are vying for my attention, trying to get me to send more! The only thing to save me from myself is to get to the checkout as quickly as possible, which is just another reason to add to my long list of reasons why I’d send queues to ‘Room 101′ in an instant!
