Towards A Personal Shopper's Dilemma: Time vs Cost.

Consider a customer who has a shopping list and a personal shopper who is willing to buy and resell goods in a customer's shopping list.

In this short paper we present an efficient solution to this problem based on finding an approximate linear skyline set of such shopping routes.
