In-Store Psychic

 What did you forget?

Have you ever gone shopping and forgotten your list? Have you ever just needed one more thing but couldn’t remember what it was? Did your honey say, “Please pick me a ***** when you go to the store? If you have any of these problems, just look for the little booth somewhere between the service desk and the restrooms where the In-Store Psychic can help you remember. Just let him/her run their hands over your charge card, checkbook or even a ten-dollar bill freshly removed from your wallet. You will be asked a series of relevant questions, which you must answer honestly for this to work. Then you will eventually be guided to at least the correct department.

Fees are applied individually. If you do not remember what you need, there is no charge for the service.

       Rather than play the Harry Potter card and MFD this, I will instead suggest replacing the gypsy circus folk with qualified hypnotists who can help you remember what you may have forgotten.

       There really is no magic involved. Psychics do what they do, whether it works for you or not.

       Perhaps instead the store could lend or rent split hazel twigs. Shoppers could then dowse for the missing item.

       //walked about the isles thinking// - was this an archipelago-based supermarket? ("Ah! Deli Island - I'll buy some salami, I think")

       //a sea-fairer's supermarket// - were there aquatic dodgems? - or did you mean "seafarer"?

       [+] to [zen_tom] for managing to steer the conversation towards piracy.

       \\And yet if you installed a suited-up financial trader in the same position, everybody'd trust that person to somehow know what's about to happen in the future. Funny old world\\   

       That's not a bad idea in itself. For the people who see the weekly shop as a potential investment.

       Well, [zen_tom],//" What was that one thing I specifically came here to get?"// was exactly my inspiration for this idea, but I must thank you for getting [marklar]'s vote, as he wanted to mfd at first.
