In Conclusions I've said a couple times before but I'll repeat: I don't think The Phantom Tollbooth was meant to hold up to this kind of analysis. However, a couple things I noticed as I reread the book with those annotations put me in the mood to answer a specific high-concept question: when does this story take place, exactly? Japanese question: the owner of the rival supermarket Discount Demon is referred to by the feudal title "daimyo". Not as joyous as Supermarket Woman but a fun crime drama, sort of a tax fraud Columbo. PS: I think the supermarket shootout in Hot Fuzz was inspired by the chase scene in Supermarket Woman. There's also a classic "make this character a woman but change nothing else about the screenplay" character here, https://bdmoviesonline.com/movie/caged-wings a la Ellen Ripley, which creates a sadly compelling female character by 1984 movie standards.
