“Growing up, my mom went to the grocery store once a week and got one thing of chips/cereal/cookies/juice/etc. to last for the week. If we ran out, oh well, gotta wait for the next grocery trip. Oh, you don’t like that flavor? Too bad, maybe next week will be one you like. It wasn’t until a few years ago, when I was at the grocery store with my husband, that I saw a flavor of chips I really wanted, but we already had a different bag of chips in the cart. He said, ‘Well, just get it.’ I was like, ‘I can just get it?’ And then I struggled with having two bags of chips open at the same time. Like, I wanted one to be empty before I opened the other one, but why should I have to wait when those were the chips I wanted?”
