Grocery store approaching is a bit challenging.
I think the biggest element to success in grocery store approaching is selecting grocery stores in areas known to be near hubs of unmarried people in any metro area. Nothing is going to happen at a grocery store in an area near mainly families in the suburbs.
Next, the visit has to be timed well.
@Jesse Pinkman did a good job with a late afternoon Saturday time selection. Most weekend times are solid for approaching. Some guys can do ok on weeknights after working hours. I still think the weekend is best for approaching.
I also think some grocery chains are better than others. I think Walmart is near the bottom of options for approaching. Whole Foods and Sprouts women are some of the fittest. Most
Kroger or
Albertsons brands will fall somewhere in the middle in terms of quality and approachability.
@Jesse Pinkman has Publix in Florida, a major Southeast regional grocer. The Publix experience is likely on bar with Kroger or Albertsons brands.
Grocery store approaching, even if selecting well for brand, location, and time of day, involves a lot of lingering and waiting for good approach options to happen. 1-3 approaches per hour in store is about what I was able to accomplish when I was doing a lot of it.
I've gotten the most dates at Kroger and have daygamed a variety of grocery stores over time.
