> There's nothing "organized" about this Ohhhh no. It's organized all right, very much so... just not for the customers' benefit. No no, it's organized for the shops' benefit. Some hlalmarks: * Perishables around the edges for quick stocking and restocking. Non-perishables around the middle where they don't need to be changed so much. * Areas that need environmental controls are grouped: so... - bakery products in one area, lighting is yellow-gold, air fresheners emitting maltol, etc. - chilled goods in another area, with a lower ambient lighting level and a different colour palette; - fresh fruit & veg in another area, lit with greenish light, air fresheners emitting something piney or something herbal-smelling; And so on. On the shelves, typical eye-levels and eye-lines measured, premium products put at eye level, budget ones down where they are less visible so fewer shoppers will find them, meaning more stuff with higher profit margins sells; Tempting fresh stuff is encountered first, in case the customer is hungry, to tempt them. Boring slow-moving stuff, frozen goods, imperishables, toilet paper etc., right at the end. It's highly organized but not _for_ you; no, it's organized to exploit you.
