When you enter the supermarkets, you see shelves full of food. You walk in the aisles

You probably hear soft, slow music as you walk along the aisles. If you hear fast
music, you walk quickly. The supermarket plays slow music, you walk slowly and have
more time to buy things.
Maybe you go to the meat department first. There is some meat on sale, and you

department. The cheaper meat is at the other end of the meat department, away from where
the customers enter. You have to walk by all the expensive meat before you find the cheaper
meat. Maybe you will buy some of the expensive meat instead of the meat on sale.
