WAITS CHANGES SUPERMARKET SHOPPING TACTICS
Singer/songwriter TOM WAITS was forced to change his shopping habits after realising his new neighbours were constantly judging his purchases at the local supermarket.
Waits was still adjusting to life in a small town in California and was so keen to stop nosy fellow shoppers from stereotyping him, he began to buy products he didn’t even want.
He explains, "When I first moved up (here) I felt like an unplugged appliance. It took some time to get used to where I was. "The problem is, at the supermarket, people get very friendly and they want to look at all the things that you purchase and then they want to build a story about ‘em. They feel compelled. I hate it. "So now the things that I choose to purchase aren’t really things I want, they’re only things I think will make a good story or a less embarrassing story. "It’s a quick sketch. If it’s pizzas, it’s ‘Oh, a pizza party,’ but if it’s razor blades and toilet paper, you know, you don’t want to go there. It’s terrible."
