There is a story about German discounter supermarket Aldi: supposedly they use wooden shelves in their markets even though they are more expensive than metal shelves. But the wooden shelves look cheaper, adding to the bargain image of the supermarket. (It could have been vice versa, I don't remember if wood or metal looks cheaper).
- X-Istence 16y agoAldi in The Netherlands uses metal shelving, some of it even wire shelving. The place looks like a dump, but the quality of the food and items is generally really good and the price is really low.
