they do it so you have to look around more and thus buy more, they also separate essentials like eggs bacon bread milk etc. at different parts of the store to make you walk more and buy more as you go. they also put veggies first and treats last so you feel less bad getting treats because youve alreafy just got veggies

It's funny because it has a literal opposite effect on me...I just go without and don't bother or I go elsewhere.

That essential list seems a bit weird to me. Are people really eating that much bacon? And no veg?

i was trying to give examples of the most common bought items, veg is an umbrella term for many different items
