Grocery Shopping: It's not just one action! It's a whole bunch of micro-actions and decisions. I've got to consult the meal plan and make the list. I've got to search for the items. I've got to compare prices. If something's too expensive or out of stock, I have to find a substitution that works. I might have to change the meal plan on the spot to accommodate substitutions. I have to remember which brand "tasted funny." I have to keep track of what we spent. I have to unload the groceries and put things away. Grocery shopping is like a treasure trove of invisible labor.

Yeah but there are so many micro actions such as having to scrub the plates harder if you have casserole or mac n cheese. All these micro labors add up massively

That's the labor theory of value. Just because you spend more time on something doesn't mean it's more productive.
