In the morning my husband went to the grocery store in the next town where is located at a 20-minutes’ drive away.
Going to the grocery store is my job, but to be honest, I was a bit scared on how I would feel at the grocery store. On last week when I went there, there were a whole bunch of sad elder customers and I saw almost empty shelves here and there. I was overwhelmed by sad emotions. I am an empathy so that I got influenced took other people’s negative emotions
So this morning my husband offered to go shopping by himself. It was nice of him.
I gave him a shopping list. I didn’t want him to be lost in the store, so I made the list to the minimum. I gave up many items that I wanted to buy. From the store, he called me several times whenever he lost on which item to buy. I like the specific brand and size and memorize exactly where it should be located along with the price. So I could easily navigate him on the shopping.
After he came back home, he saw many guys shopping alone. They did exactly same as he did. They were holding a piece of paper which is most likely the shopping list that their wife or girlfriend made. On their other hand they were holding a cell phone calling their woman to ask specifically which one they wanted to buy.
When I heard this, I thought it nice that men are helping women for grocery shopping. If we didn’t have this Covid-19 situation, some of them might never experience the grocery shopping alone. I guess it is one of the benefits for us.
