There is nothing to stop you starting up a conversation in a supermarket.
Although there are only the two of us...we visit a variety of supermarkets....and rarely do we leave any of them without having a bit of banter with either the staff or some other old and crumbly....it might start by seeing some old girl trying to reach something on the high shelves....and helping her reach whatever it was...but we always, always chat to someone.

Conversation is a two way street....don't wait for someone else to start one...take the initiative yourself.
