Keeping Shoppers on Their Toes

January 23, 2021

 

One of the most irritating things about shopping is how stores keep rearranging the aisles. This is done, I’m told, so that shoppers won’t just go in, grab things on auto-pilot, and never notice other tempting items that they could buy. If you have to search for the things you want, you’ll be more aware of what else is on offer, and maybe make an impulse-buy or two.


Sometimes, though, the shakeups just don’t make sense. Do the storekeepers really think that I’m going to go in for hydrogen peroxide, look around the aisle, and suddenly realize that I need an enema?
