No, they stick all the men's stuff all the way in the back! Then you
have to drag the wife and kids all the way through the store to get to
the men's stuff. Then that one "men's item" winds up costing 10x more
due to all the additional items being placed in the cart on the way
there and back!

That's the same reason milk (a commonly purchased single item) is at the
back of supermarkets. You must walk past all the other tempting stuff
twice and then past the stuff while waiting in line at the checkstand.

The fact that department stores are aimed at women is no secret, and
hasn't been a secret for fifty years or so. Go clothes shopping on your own.

Same thing for grocery stores, since most food is still purchased by women.

I heard Lowe's referred to as the "housewives hardware store". Wide
aisles, cleaner, organized and plenty of room for a shopping cart.

The poor male DIYer goes to HD

I refer to Lowe's as the Walmart of home improvement stores and Home
Depot as the Kmart of the big box hardware stores. :-)
