I marvel at the design and execution of supermarkets.
They are temples of capitalism.
Think for a moment of what a supermarket truly is. It is a place that has somehow worked out the economics of capital, labor, and land to make a profit while supplying goods and services that everyone needs and any moment for the price they are willing to pay.
They have no way of knowing when you will arrive or what you will need but somehow always have EXACTLY what you need. Not only do they almost always have exactly what you need but it is at the price you are willing to pay.
It's magic.
Ok, maybe not magic, but as close to magic as you can reasonably expect in life.
Few things in life meet this criterion of giving us what we want, when we want it, for the cost we're willing to pay for it.
