Well, he doesn't actually think he's going to avoid buying the carrots.

The problem I have with him buying the carrots is it completes the monomyth. If he just sits down, the monomyth is neither complete nor incomplete. Rather, it's in this kind or limbo.

If I were writing it, I would have him carrying the carrots all the way to the cashier and in his head, he would still be having the argument against buying them. You know, how some times were will sit there and tell ourselves we are not going to do something while we're doing it.

The only problem I have with this is that it's a mini monomyth in itself. Conflict, decision, resolution, lesson learned and applied or not applied.
