    Probably a given for most people, but us regular grocery workers don’t like it when things are rearranged either. We have become really good at locating items to stock, but then when rearranged we have to relearn it and build our speed and memory again.

    We feel you, customers.

    To force people to spend more time shopping. More time means more chance for impulse buying and better sales. Basic marketing.

      More time also means your appetite is starting to get engaged, since it’s usually after work and you’re surrounded by attractively laid out foods. It’s just a fact that people buy more if they’re hungry.

      So even if you just went to pick up a bag of milk on your way home, maybe some other stuff looked good too while you were there.

    It’s just some Sales Optimization Consultant trying to justify their existence. Leave them be, they have their own problems.

    Studies show more time spent in the store equates to more sales. They have to measure time in store and extra sales against time to reorganize. As regular time moves forward it becomes increasingly worth more to rearrange until it outweighs the time to reorganize by a certain margin.

    I’ve litterally never heard of this happening… They build these stores to specific organization standards and almost never change…

      You, my friend, are living in Plato’s ideal world - a world of perfect, abstract reality, the shadow of which is our tangible world. You have escaped the cave shadows we call a “grocery store”, with it’s rising prices and shifting aisles, and now shop within The True Grocery Store, the noumenon of all our vain replications…

      How have you done it? How have you escaped the earthly bounds of ever changing grocery stores? You have achieved enlightenment…
