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
I think Aldi is so successful in the US because they don't do this. There is an aisle or two with random crap, and seasonal items in another spot, but I can be in and out with everything I went for in ten minutes. Trader Joe's might do this too, I haven't been to one in a long time. I wonder if Whole Foods or the other upscale stores fuck around with their shoppers like that.
Smaller grocery chains or independent grocers didnt change their store layouts from what I remember, but they went under or were bought out by the big chains that are already very profitable but still try to wring everything they can out of their captive audience.
We have Ikea in the UK , which is a single track that meanders through the store. It forces you through every aisle. There are exits and shortcuts built into to it, but they do not make them obvious. I absolutely refuse to shop there. The few times I have been in the store has always left me angry for wasting my time.
only one store near me has a very specific cider that they only ever stock occasionally it is pain 😩
Expectations don't being met is a problem for every age group. Most kids simply don't expect the grocery store aisle to look a certain way.
Getting out of our comfort zone can help us to grow.
Joke's on them, I don't remember where anything is anyway.
Get mad? Nah. Life needs these little curve balls.
Keeps life exciting
The pain is real. Like… they never fucking asked ME about the rearrangement. No-oh! They just go ahead and please themselves!
I will make then pay
Your Safeway getting remodeled too? Why the F are the lunch meats crammed next to the lotions behind freezer doors that prevent people from passing if they're open.
It rubs the lotion on its lunch meat
Damn this happened to me last month and just today I got pissed looking for my Chex Mix.
