Shopping Theory

Shopping Theory is the concept that applies to both life in general and shopping itself. If you’re certain of something, you just know. If you see something you absolutely love, you won’t even look at the price tag because you know you want it. If you question it at all, even if it’s on clearance, put it back - you don’t need it. Same goes for everyday life decisions; if you question it you can do without. When you know, you know.

I found a dress that was on clearance but after trying it on and shifting around I couldnt make up my mind if I needed it; because I questioned I applied Shopping Theory and put it back despite the sale price.

Shopping Cart Theory

An everyday test over morality and responsibilty over the simple task of returning a shopping cart after unloading groceries. You aren't forced by the law to return it, you won't get any punishment for not returning it, you won't get rewarded for doing it, it doesn't take a lot of time or effort to return it, but it is the right thing to do and it organises the parking lot and makes it easier for the next people to use the shopping cart. Most people should be able to return it unless they are in a hurry. Ultimately, it's a test to see if people can do the right thing without being forced or rewarded.

"You're just gonna leave that cart there?"
"Yeah."
"You failed the shopping cart theory."
"What the hell are you talking about?"
