This is obviously an attempt at a smart or funny remark. :)

But for arguments sake, lets take a serious approach to it: How would it work, getting back those two minutes? Would it be adding two more minutes to your total life span? If so, how would that be justifiable because those two minutes you add, might be worse than the experience of reading this. If you wouldn't just add two more minutes to your total life span how would you do it? It's hard to convert time value... I can't pay you for your time because that doesn't mean it'll reimburse what "you spent". I could perhaps waste 2 minutes of my life but that doesn't give them to you...

Alright, being serious for a second. I really didn`t understand a lot of what you were talking about. I agree that the supermarket is not always the easiest place to navigate, sometimes the employees are not helpful, and yes, the products and prices can be confusing.

But then I starting thinking about all the hungry people in Africa. Think about it. People are absolutely starving to death, and we get all our food delivered to a centralized location where we can browse an endless number of products and walk away with a mountain of food. And the prices are not bad. On average, we only spend about 10% of our income on food. That`s nothing!

:) I`m in...you must now waste 2 minutes of your life. I agree that this doesn`t get me back my 2 minutes, but it does give me something else, something I can`t quite put my finger on. Let me know what you did!
Well, in that case we'll need a common ground of which we can say what wasting time is. ;)
