Both of these things are likely to reduce the amount of money you drop in the checkout line.  Stores have a number of tricks that they use to get you to buy more; they pump great smelling scents and play music designed to make you feel so comfortable you want to stay in the store even longer. The longer you stay, the more you spend. Gum and headphones are your defenses!
