There could be live acoustic, lyricless music in the shop to blot out the unpleasant sounds.
How about an accordion player by the French bread section?
I think that would be quite jolly and appropriate. Not only that, it would ease navigation, as the sound got louder, you'd know that you'd be approaching the French bread section.
I really would enjoy listening to a live accordion player while I did my shopping.
However, this might send some people screaming from the shop.

Yes! I would love this.
I think I would feel quite calmed if there was actually silence in the grocery store, except for ambient noise - people talking, carts rolling, registers beeping. (Maybe not the registers.) But for most people this would be so radical - so wrong! Isn't that how they did it back in
the old days? You walk in the store, "Oh, hello Mr. Smith, how's the fish today?"
Perhaps this a cultural clash issue, or rather a cultural musical overload issue.
Maybe the one of the reasons why people are so stressed these days is because their bodies are out of sync with their minds. Perhaps a barrage of wallpaper music and noise in the modern world interferes with an individual's cultural/tribal entrainment?
Also, lots of music is mass produced for passive consumption. Perhaps people would feel less stressed and culturally distanced if they could actively engage with the music rather than be force fed it?
I don't know, perhaps this idea of passive consumption originated from people going orchestral concerts and operas in the past. People would sit down and absorb western music from a distance they would not get up and do a groovy dance.
I remember having to sit down and passively listen to Reggae in music class. In this class, we studied Reggae at a clinical distance by quietly filling in a worksheet and writing an essay. It was so weird. We were studying Reggae like it was Bach!
I know that Reggae isn't Bach. It's from a completely different culture. I know that people in the Caribbean don't sit down quietly and write essays in order to engage with the music. Reggae is about getting up and dancing. It's about making music and active audience participation. You don't analyse it to death on a silly worksheet and sit down, you feel it.
I wonder if a lot of the modern alienation and cultural disconnect that people are feeling is something to do with the culturally clashing music that people are bombarded with. Maybe people feel mentally exhausted because they struggle to sync up culturally.
Piped music isn't distributed mindfully or with thought to people's environmental health.
People are force fed and told to buy music to listen to passively. In store radios are all about making money. It's not about preserving cultural traditions or respecting other cultures. It's about getting people to buy the next big hit by force feeding them over and over again.

I think my body is certainly out of sync with my mind. And writing an essay to analyze reggae? Ridiculous!
I went to a different supermarket today and they played Buddy Holly.
That was nice at least. I still hated their food selection, it was too crowded, and the cashier took forever to ring me up, but somehow I was less stressed than usual.

You are very good at doodling and that is a great illustration! Thanks for sharing. If I ever need to explain AS to someone, this link would be in my list

Faceblindness? So that's what it's called! I was going crazy trying to figure out why I couldn't remember people when I bumped into them in places I didn't know! Drives me nuts...
Awesome comic.
