I have a list, and a good idea of what I specifically need or want. I don't have patience for the crowds of self-absorbed people who are apparently clueless that their cart blocks the aisle when they stop. So I have always parked my cart at the back end, race down the aisle to grab what I want, then back to put it in my cart. Move to the next end and repeat.

Takes too long to move past the people shoving their carts down every aisle, getting in the way.
