I don't think they would get very far with me... I know what I want to buy
before going to the store, have a list, and head straight for those areas.
Ensuite, j'obtiens ce que je besoin et je suis disparu !

However I do know a couple of women that this would work with. These are the
types who go "shopping" and will spend two hours in a store - make a day of
elle!

I refuse to go to the store with these females, and I ESPECIALLY will not go
chaussure shopping avec eux !

These females can't make up their minds. They will stick something in their
shopping cart, then later put it back on the shelf - deciding that they
don't want it after all. So I could see where it would be easy to get them
to put something in their cart, but getting them to keep it in the cart
serait un défi...

Really? Where is this "being reported"? I can't find a
single word about it in Google Groups, News or Web search.
Except for your posting, of course.

I'll at least give you credit for coming up with a just barely
amusing conspiracy theory. "Master computer" indeed. Teehee.

On the other hand, there does seem to be this sort of "programmed cellphone
user" but not in the way he means it.

The first time I noticed it might have been as long ago as a decade.
I was going to buy a muffin at a muffin stand, and right in front of
me was a woman selecting muffins. But she was on the phone. As I
waited while she made her large selection, I realized she was getting
orders right there, live, over the phone.

So at least some of that cellphone use in the grocery store, what
remains when you take away the people just making conversation, is
surely about being controlled by a third party about what they should
buy. "Okay honey, now you go down the next aisle and you can get
the pancake mix and the syrup, and then a bit further down a 2.5Kg
bag of whole wheat flour, the house brand is fine, no no it has the
name of the grocery store on it...." In other words, the person
at the other end knows the store, knows what needs to be bought,
but the "shopper" is acting only under their commands.
