There's a reason why refrigerated items are usually at the back: fridges usually face a wall. You can have a shelf at the back sometimes but that's not always possible
Also, for those quick purchases you can always go to somewhere closer, a gas station, etc.
In fact in Europe some places do have the quick purchases right in front of the store so you don't need to go around (Tesco as an example).
- rrradical 5y agoNah, I saw this on my last shopping trip to a mega grocery. Bought basically all the items on my list on the right side of the store (produce, other food stuffs) and then had to walk past a half dozen aisles filled with random crap (non food) to get eggs from the dairy section.
- Handytinge 5y agoConversely at my local supermarket (major chain), the milk, meat, fruit and veg are all near the front of the store and easily accessible. Also, why would your eggs be in the dairy section?
- sagonar 5y agoI think store documentation from the 'food store franchise' have been publicly shared in Sweden and had instructions on how you should place the milk.
- dmitriid 5y agoThe dairy section is the most infuriatingly obscure section in Swedish stores. To the point that I've seen it hidden away in a small subsection only accessible by a rather narrow entrance.
