Norman entered the store on the end of his block, thinking to himself he'd switch stores to add a bit of change to his routine. "Variety is the spice of life!" Norman mumbled to no one in particular. He looked a bit sheepish afterward however, having caught the eye of one of his fellow shoppers. "I don't usually talk to myse-" began Norman, but then thought it would only worsen his situation, so he turned quickly and walked at a hasty pace in another direction. Once he was out of sight of the gaunt older gentleman, he found himself at a small refrigerator with bottled water. First he looked to a large bottle of Smart Water, but then decided it was simply to much water to drink in the very near future. He then looked to the Dasani, but that cost forty nine cents more than the store brand water, so he couldn't justify the expense. He took the thin plastic bottle of store brand water out of the fridge, and took it to the register, deciding he preferred his regular store. But standing near the checkout area was the older shopper from before! Norman returned the bottle of water to it's refrigerator, deciding he'd just stick to his trusty reusable bottle. Besides, a bit of convenience is no excuse for waste! Norman stepped out of the store, his head low, feeling a tad guilty for not purchasing anything.
