Great time to move to a competitor, the learning curve has been reset and is the same for both.
HereIsThere
Heck, I found it aggravating as a kid.
mcbotulism
THEY DO IT JUST TO FUCK WITH ME, I SWEAR
RectalPunchfromHell
Haha they did this at my local Costco. They moved the soap and coffee and I had to ask for help
ILoveToLaughHaHaHaHa
I had a brief moment of anger at the grocery tonight. False alarm.
Randomice
I hate it everytime they do that.
OneFun
Yeah, WTF Costco!
ghostfacevader
We do it on purpose. It tricks you into spending 15 to 20min more time in the store which = more money
RackhamTheRed
Tricks me into going to a store where I can get the stuff I want as fast as I want. I don't wanna play Indiana Jones, just get A, B and C
icantbelieveitsnotathrowawayaccount
Yea except basically every grocery store does this
RackhamTheRed
Can't remember mine here pulled that number the last time
tomatoboy
Only because they keep fracking doing it every 3 months!
Link01
Naw, you just forgot where stuff was or went to a different store.
SuckerOfFun
That you notice.
an0therthr0waway
When I can't find the peanut butter, I go to a different store.

Markets are designed for maximum profit not efficiency.
Bizarkly
In fact, markets are deliberately designed for *inefficiency* -- they want to *maximize* the length of the shoppers' paths...
someguy7734206
I get mad that I have to go to the grocery store.
MandalorianHybrid1
It fucks with the rhythm. I like to get in and get out as fast as possible.
madjo
Especially during these corona-times
Hajaj
Yup. And that's why they do it.
MandalorianHybrid1
Makes sense. Makes people stick around a lot longer and buy more shit.
TizzedInMyPants
I'm in this meme and I don't like it.
SuckerOfFun
It's even worse once you realize why they do it.
nevergoingtogiveyouupnevergoingtoletyoudown
To ask employees for help to make you feel stupid and pseudo good customer service on top of the obvious to get you to buy more reason.
McDerpNderp
To keep you wondering around more. The longer time you roam the more stuff you buy.
SometimesIpostfood
One time I came in for a can of sloppy joe stuff, took me an hour to find it, but that was all I wanted bcuz that was what forgot earlier
Samsyma
Use a note with all things on it you want to buy. Its like a quest challenge.
SomeGuyWhoSaysStuff
I'm not going to buy more stuff because I'm stuck in the store longer. If anything I'll get pissed off, leave & learn a new layout elsewhere

We do it on purpose. It tricks you into spending 15 to 20min more time in the store which = more money
Gherkincensed
To make you walk by it, basically. All the essentials are always around the outside of the store: produce, dairy, bread, simply to make you
Youmaynotagree
Yeah it's pretty sick. Industrial manipulation of the human psyche under the guise of " What?! We're just rearranging our shelves hehe."
Gherkincensed
lengthen your shopping trip and look at everything else, so you'll buy more.
GreatTeacherMichael
They don't do it to get you to wander. They do it because suppliers bid on prime shelf locations
SuckerOfFun
weneedatalk
Why do they do it
DildorTheMighty
It makes you search the store for what you want, and they hope you'll see and buy something you hadn't planned on buying.
KinetoPlay
If you have to wander around looking for stuff you buy things that you didn't come in for
sackofmeat
Fuck YEAH I do... Bread and paper towels in the same aisle. Absolute madness.
MacKelvey
In my mind bread should be near the bakery or at the very least the deli.
MacKelvey
WHY ISN’T THE WATER, JUICE, SPORTS DRINKS, AND SODA ALL IN ONE AISLE?!
nevergoingtogiveyouupnevergoingtoletyoudown
The same reason Casinos make a maze to get to the exit.
N0HATS
At my store they are, but people still ask me where they each are, this world is a place that punishes you for not utilizing your eyes.
alcaray
Mine split the TP, paper towels, and Kleenex into different areas of the store. I had to ask for help.
tomyironmane
Isles are not arranged for your convenience, they're arranged to maximize profit. A lot of science goes into seeing just how to do this...
tomyironmane
... but a significant limiting factor is exactly how annoyed they can make a shopper before they go someplace else.
Autittuderp
The grocery stores in the US, have enough pop to fill a whole fuckin isle, blows my damn mind. Who needs that many sugary carbonated choices
usnerd55
They don't even make aisles that big!
JaimeLannistersRightHand
Why isn't the Asian food where it was before?!
Link01
Because they all won't fit in one aisle
Vergenbuurg
WHY THE FUCK ARE CANNED FRUITS ON AISLE TWO AND CANNED VEGETABLES ON AISLE FOUR?! IT'S ALL CANS!
mirria
one of the places I shop has "cookies" and "crackers" in two different aisles.
Rantaf
But, crackers love cookies!
BornOnAMonday83
WHY THE FUCK IS MY DING DONG HARD!?
Thewinterisstillhere
Because vedgies can't stand fruities
VayaKahvi
my stores has them in consecutive aisles, so there's that going for me.
MacKelvey
You’re so lucky
VayaKahvi
wine and beer are on opposite sides though
