>>5452647People may or may not judge you, this can be a fact, I suffer from this but depending on what I buy I just think differently, note that my usual dress sense would scream scalper/shop lifter as for some reason I wear a jacket and sun glasses almost all the time.
>TransformersI wear a tf related shirt (I have a few) and try spend as least time as possible to avoid kids who may possibly laugh, I research before hand so I avoid time in the aisle being autistic
>Scale 1:64cars ie matchbox hawtwheelzFor this I am known to spend ages down aisles, sometimes people randomly talk to me, I just play along, sometimes its an old lady looking for a car for her son, others its kids saying that's so cool, for this no spaghetti is lost
>anime goodsthese are usually impulse purchases, just grab and go but note that these places contain so many autist you don't need to worry about judgement, hell you could walk around with your fav nendoroid and not give a shit about those funko pop wankers judging you
>adult/female based goodsI got really weirded out because long time ago these was statue shit of Ranko Kanzaki at a pop culture store (lots of anime goods but also a mixture of "normie" stuff ie sports goods) that I grabbed her, hand over front of box, and kept scouting around the cashier area until my preferred gender was cashier, in this case a girl, really this shouldn't matter though if you get nervous do the old "condoms in a supermarket trick".
Buy something else to take the heat off, you mix condoms with regular shopping the thought will pass, in this case I bought a replica combat knife off these guys, with the excuse "which one is for my girlfriend" as a comeback.
But seriously, don't worry about what others MIGHT say or do, you got money to buy what you want, buy it, even if you're a 34yr neckbeard buying a barbie if you aren't brave enough to admit you're a collector of sorts just make an excuse just buy online.
