I love change but they completely rearranged our local grocery store after ten years of living here and it never being rearranged and the new layout makes ZERO sense. The sandwich bread got moved from being next to the fresh bread and is now next to the shampoo and flowers. The fake meds (idr the name right now, super tired) are where the real meds used to be, and the real meds are split into two sections, one in the pharmacy and the other in the normal “bathroom” section with makeup and shampoo and stuff.
With all of the rearranging they also got rid of more than half the selection of everything. Before we had a ridiculous number of nice breads and now it’s pretty much just cheap unhealthy shit like Wonder and Sara Lee. But they kept all the expensive jellies and jams and got rid of the cheap ones.
Fucking nightmare. I think whomever decided all of it has never walked into a grocery store before.
Sounds like they might have arranged it so that customers have to search for things and hope they impulse buy things they did not intend to. Profit seeking is likely behind the reduced selection as well.
Oh definitely but it’s had the opposite effect. There are fewer people in the store than ever and personally I’m shopping at much smaller mom and pop grocery stores now.
It can do that yes - I also avoid some stores that do it. I guess it works for them though as they still keep doing it again every few years.
