Then the $%^&*()_+s go and rearrange the store on you.

A proven technique from the supermaket industry. You make the customer
walk around the store some more looking for what he needs, and he's
more likely to impulse-buy that other item he wouldn't have walked

Local store put in a wine section that partially blocked access to two
aisles - you have to go around it. They don't seem to be doing all that

gallon screw top. Nor do they carry Mogen David or Night Train. I did
look.
