Do we really need deep discussions explaining why people have different preferences in life?
I'm sure there are people who wonder why the OP doesn't enjoy spending time shopping for clothes.
Most supermarkets in America do not have nice cafes.
Most people go to a cafe if they want to go to a cafe, they don't go to a supermarket.
Many people have to drag kids along and keep them under control when grocery shopping.
It is a repetitive task.
For most people there is no creativity or joy in it.
Most people do not live within walking distance of their supermarket.
Most people wouldn't walk there anyway, since they are shopping for a family of three or four.
Most people don't see it as a break from other things, they see it as one more thing that has to be fit into a busy weekend (or even worse, an evening after work).
And many more.
Really the entire subthread reads like yuppie single men wondering why other people don't have the same preferences they do and being completely unable to figure it out.
