> At least the supermarkets are starting to leave some items empty instead of spreading things out. How many times over the past two years did I think I'd lost my mind when I couldn't find something routine... no, I wasn't overlooking things, the supermarket employees were just trying to make it look nicer. I guess even they started to feel like this was some sort of gaslighting. "Oh, no, we're not out of dried yeast... we don't sell dried yeast!" It frustrates the shit out of me that grocery stores will move product to fill in empty space rather than make it obvious something is sold out, mainly because they don't move/remove price tags. As a result, items sit over the price tag for another product and it causes confusion. Customers don't read the small print indicating what the price tag is for, just what the price says on it. So, for example, if they're out of the 50-count Advil bottles, they'll fill in the empty space with 200-count bottles that normally sit next to them. Except now, you have 200-count bottles sitting over the 50-count price tag, and customers will expect the 50-count price.
