Reminds me of my days living in the South Tacoma neighborhood of Washington State and shopping at the Costco there. That place was always so crowded and it drove me insane. I think the only reason why I even bothered going there was because it was within walking distance from my residence at the time and I could find amazing bargains on produce, clothing, coffee, etc. But the crowding and getting stuck behind slow walkers would at times unbearable. I don't know if it's a dyspraxic thing or what but it's more difficult for me to walk slower than it is for me to walk in the fleet footed gait that I typically have. I feel less physically stable when forced to walk too slow.
Yes, same! I’ve always been a fast walker and it’s much easier than going slow. Easier for me to trip if I’m slow. We went back to Costco yesterday. It wasn’t nearly as chaotic as the day before, but I couldn’t last long then either. The layout, the ginormous carts… like, how has nobody figured out better store layouts? I just can’t. 😆I know it’s bad when my brain is picturing how things SHOULD look and flow, etc., because it isn’t good at shit like that normally lol
Oh yeah, I’ve experienced that too with some stores where the layout just makes such little sense and I find myself wanting to navigate it in accordance with a layout that would make more sense, at least to me anyways, and thus end up making all kinds of wrong turns Lol
