I’ve got adhd, and I’m the one that can’t go into the store without browsing. My wife lowkey hates shopping with me because she just wants to get in and out. I start considering price, value, but also have to consider if it’s a garbage product or not, oh hey, do we need dried noodles? We certainly could, I love cacio e pepe, but maybe not now. Ah crap! I needed tomato paste! Back a few aisles we go!

    I'm convinced there are these two types of people in the world, and they marry each other

    I sure did. Before I even enter the store I've already drawn up a map in my head with a very clear path of exactly where I need to go. When my wife joins me, that map goes straight in the garbage bin.

    Lol, I don't even have a map in my head. I walk the same route every time, because I get the same items every time. If I want variety or spice in my food life, I can go to a restaurant once a month. The rest of the time food can be as bare, repetitive, and thus simple as possible.

    My partner actually thought she was quick in 'n out with shops until she witnessed, and then had to bear, me in action. Organise list by distance from the entrance and keep the flow of movement as fluid as possible, to snake your way through aisles ASAP and straight to self-checkout. In and out. And thank god for self-checkout, that cut at least 5 minutes of awkwardness from shopping.

    Yeah I have no idea wtf this meme is talking about. A lot of people seem to have this weird idea that ADHD gives you some immense ability to focus? When it's literally the opposite. They hear about hyper focus and think that means you have some weird superpower. In reality it's an inordinate amount of attention given to whatever is the most interesting thing to you, at the expense of focus paid to things you actually need to do. It seems pretty unlikely that the person described in the OP is extremely interested in a shopping task.

    Yeah, none of that is bad, but when my partner decides that it takes five minutes a product for each decision, I get annoyed. If you can't figure it out in five seconds, the differences are obviously not a big enough deal.
