navigating a grocery store

i'm a little weird, we can agree to that.

but in my quasi-ideal world, there's an app that lists where everything in a grocery store is.  amazonfresh is a bit more ideal, but i like to get things myself.  google glass integration, and i know where i'm headed.

back to reality, here and now.

i've decided to use the same algorithms i use when driving to navigate through grocery stores.  i don't do well with crowded aisles, slow checkout lanes, poor efficiency, etc.

so depending on the time of day, the day of the week, i make my usual assumptions.  about who's in the store, what they're there to buy, etc.

mentally map out what i need to get, zip through aisles that shouldn't be occupied, or minimally so, grab what i need to in sequence, and head straight to self checkout.

ideally, everything would be nfc tagged and i could just set my basket down, run some sort of biometric scan - or this - and out we go.

next stop, john lert.
