I have a plan to solve all the frustration and waiting time associated with supermarket shopping. Small discreet online gambling terminals placed at strategic points around the huge store, located where the husbands can take a rest while the housewife stands and decides on which color soap to take to match their bathroom scheme.

Supermarket shopping is not designed for the short-fused man who would rather be doing anything except shopping. So if there were these online gambling terminals, he could relax, get his blood pressure down to normal and make the fifty yards through the shelves to the next terminal without blowing a fuse.

And each terminal could offer something different, although slot machines would be eminently suitable in a supermarket. You arrive at the canned peas and beans carousel, for example, have a few spins, while your wife selects the peas for the coming dinner party. Maybe you’ll be lucky and set the fire alarm bell going with a nice fat jackpot. Move on to the potato and onion bins - always a slow place while major choices are made. Here you could have a couple of spins at the roulette wheel in the online casino.

Places like the cheese and wine counters take a lot of time and patience because the choices are so huge. Here you could log in and get into a game of Texas Hold’em with ease. And instead of watching the other players, you could pretend that you are keeping tabs on your wife’s progress as you bluff your way through the game. Some of the online casinos offer great odds and bonuses and there is absolutely no reason why you shouldn’t pick up a few of these while you are in the supermarket to help offset the costs of shopping.

It’s at the make-up and cosmetics counter where the guys can really get into some serious online gambling while the wife tests, tries and finally chooses things like creams, lipsticks and shampoos. A heavy game of blackjack with no interruptions would do well here. So, have I convinced the supermarkets to install online gambling terminals?
