My wife and I have grocery shopped together since we were married 49 years ago. If she shopped alone I would not get what I wanted.😋
After 47 years, if she misses something, I just stop and get what I want...plus,plus. She caught on years ago and does an excellent job!

There have been times (I emphasize times) in the grocery store that I have looked for my wife looking down every aisle and the back of the store more than once and was unable to find her using this method for twenty minutes. I swear that aliens abducted her and returned her before anyone else was any the wiser.
And I thought that I was the only one to experience this. We are kindred spirits.

I find the fresh flower display and put my pocket camera on macro/close up and do floral shots. Once when in a wheel chair for a blown knee I parked next to the flowers in Sam' Club for nearly 1/2 hour.
All I have to do to find my wife while in a store is to find the prettiest buxom babe you can and strike up a conversation..... wife seems to appear outta nowhere ! ( works pretty much everytime )

Years ago while shopping at the local grocery store, an older gentleman came in with his wife. As she started shopping, he opened a lawn chair he brought with him and set up at an end cap and started reading the paper. As she got a couple of aisles away, he would move the chair and continue reading. He did this until she was ready to check out.

The main actual use we have for our cell phones is to find one another while shopping. My wife is 4' 6" tall, so she often doesn't stick up high enough to be seen.

Sounds like rookie mistakes, Steve! 
I lose my wife in the grocery store all the time. She will send me find something, and when I come back the aliens have her!

I don't have that problem, my wife is a bit over 5' 7" but she has the ability to fade out of sight right out in the open more or less. If she could teach that to our troops they could go in, kick the hell out of the bad guys and leave with the bad guys still trying to figure out who or what is causing all the ruckus.

Yeah, but what if there are no buxom blondes.

Then go over to the "boy toy" department if there is one or just any younger women. An interesting conversation with another bored husband works also - both wives will show up to stomp out that conversation and get you both back to your main purposes - pack mule, transportation and the finance department.

When my wife and I used to go to mall, she would go and look at shoes and I would go to Ritz Camera and browse around (so convenient). Now that Ritz Camera went out of business, I don't have a excuse to go with her.

Be sure to have your passport up to date!!
I will second that. My wife once told me she was down the street at Walmart. There is a Walmart down the street, that was not however the one she was at. Down that same street in the opposite direction Across the Mississippi River in another State is were she was....
I no longer ask, the answers make my head hurt.
