Very good points on the benefits of talking to strangers. :) A total aside on the tortellini pointer idea: > when a store moves something a note or something similar would be helpful to tell shoppers the new location for the item This is a complete misunderstanding of why the stores move items. :) https://bettermarketing.pub/the-secret-brilliant-and-questionable-strategy-supermarkets-use-to-make-you-spend-more-ca553c3c6135 https://bettermarketing.pub/the-secret-brilliant-and-questio... "Supermarkets relocate their products around the store to make sure their customers get lost. As they struggle to find what they came in to buy, customers can’t help it but scan the freshly-redesigned shelves. That’s when the marketing magic happens. [...] That’s how you end up with three additional products you didn’t even think about before stepping in the shop. Your active search for pasta made you notice other merchandise and buy some of it. In short, rearranging the store makes you spend more money — enough money for supermarkets to invest in this technique on a regular basis." If they would want you to not get lost looking for tortellinis they could just leave them where they were. Heck there could be a tacit understanding between every shop to use the same schema and then you could just go in, grab and get out. It would just result them earning less money. That is why they don't do it.
