Slow shopping stands in stark contrast to our era of Artificial Intelligence, the Internet, space travel, and nuclear weapons—all created to deliver swift results. This desire for speed has even influenced how we shop, with instant deliveries becoming the norm.
Hence, we have online sellers that provide grocery or food and medicine deliveries within a few minutes. Understandably, all this speed doesn’t come free: someone has to pay for people and equipment that makes our life incredibly fast. Invariably, it’s we the consumers that pay the price for enjoying speedy travel or quick deliveries.
However, it’s worth knowing that buying quickly doesn’t entail expenses only on modes of delivery. Instead, when we shop for something quickly, the price often gets ignored. Worse, we end up with a lot of clutter at homes or offices, when the stuff gets delivered.
Rapid shopping usually occurs during sales such as Black Friday or the year end festivals including Christmas and New Year. I use the word rapid because we shop mindless of the prices and utility of stuff.
