Im not sure if I'm alone on this one.
When you all go to a store and you spot the joe aisle do you quickly skim through it ? Or do you take a giant plunge and reach for the back? Me personally I skim first then dig around .. I don't stay in the toy aisle too long I feel awkward i think sometimes this affects my hunt .. My wife screams at me for this .. she says " Baby you don't even look" most of the time she ends up finding most of what I'm looking for .. I don't know maybe I'm just so excited I panic and just scan through or maybe it me feeling like the terminator when I'm the joe aisle I feel almost like I have a joe-dar! Unless I'im at Ross or Tuesday morning I don't dig .. Once I leave I second guess my hunt and feel like a chump ! |

Not enough on the shelves for me to need to dig.

I check every peg front to back, then back to front, then sometimes again. If I'm going to take the time to stop in and look, I'm gonna make sure I don't leave any stones unturned.

I check every peg, and look behind every box. Hell, when wal mart first got poc, you had to dig through the towels and look behind the fruity pebbles to find the alley vipers... hiders are worse than scalpers...

Diggah! I don't care what people think of a 30 year old digging thru the pegs. I always look fresh like baby's breath when I'm on the hunt tho.

I catch myself looking at everything, stepping back a bit and then looking again as if by magic something would have appeared. I do the same thing in the fridge when I want something to eat and nothing looks good.

First I skim, then if I don't find what I'm looking for, I dig so hard that I leave the toy isle a ravaged mess.
