  Speaker 1: you don't want to.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Say, moro.

• 0:39
  Speaker 3: his own, but he hasn't taken me yet.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: So you've yet to walk in and experience it.
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: But what happens is spatial awareness vanishes the moment people's
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: hands touch these massive carts. Shoppers stop dead in their tracks,
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: they block aisles, they say, we're easily oversized by the carts.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: The wide open warehouse layout treasure set up. It encourages
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: us to slow down and wander, and then we're not
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: paying attention to what or who's around us. Plus there's
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: free samples in the mix, and they say it's impossible
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: to navigate, so the best thing to do to be courteous.
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: Don't stop dead in your tracks, look around before you
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: make a U turn, don't go against the flow in
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: the store and pull to the side.
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: If you want to check something out.
• 1:22

  Speaker 1: for the first time.
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: Honestly, are you ready for it? I don't know.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: I'm intimidated or I'm excited.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: About this or are what you will be one hundred
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: percent intimidated in the beginning. Yeah, and then as time
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: goes on, the more times you go, you'll you'll chill
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: out a bit. But it's just just you can make
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: a list, but it's this overwhelming feeling of, oh my gosh,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: there's so much here, and you can you can justify
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: why you need something every time you look at something,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: like right when you walk in, you'll say space heater,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: and you'll.
