    That’s why I always introduce a good bit of entropy to my shopping patterns:

    -Enter and go straight to produce
    -Spend 20 minutes examining eggplants
    -Walk up and down 5 aisles pausing exactly the square of the aisle number in seconds.
    -Grab a box of tampons
    -Grab what I need as quickly as possible
    -Return tampons
    -Checkout and leave

    Somewhere a marketing team is spending hours trying to figure out how to improve the conversion rates for tampons and eggplants for customers in my demo.

      Don’t forget to flick and knock on various fruits and vegetables. Randomize how many flicks/knocks per item, and throw in a few on produce items that normally don’t get that kind of test e.g. grapes or potatoes.

          Melons and squashes (inc. pumpkins).

          I believe the idea is to allow you to roughly evaluate the density of the produce, to avoid e.g. mushy grainy watermelon or weird squashes that don’t have their expected hollowness.
