The older you get the more you understand they change the layouts of supermarkets to disorient you intentionally

What insanity compelled OP to place a comma after the word deeply?

Or the more disabled. I tell you, in crutches or a wheelchair, knowing the layout can save you 30 minutes!

You think you care about the layout of grocery stores…

I'm perfectly fine with whatever layout they have as long as they don't constantly fucking change it. No problem for months, suddenly everything has been moved and I can't find shit turning a 30 minute trip into a 2 hour scavenger hunt. 😬

What annoys me more than the store moving things around all the time is the stuff not even stocked by the store employees, but by 3rd party vendors like Pepsi and Lays. Their shit is always fucked up, and almost always in the weirdest place compared to where the rest of the similar products are because they want to stand out more.

We need to implement the Chewy decimal system proposed by the revolutionary squorm daddy himself!

They keep shrinking the aisles so they're too narrow!

Yes at some point you realize the frankly absurd amount of time of your life spent walking around looking for things in them. Then you've found some or most of them only for them to move them again and start the whole time eating cycle once more. Imagine the cumulative time lost by all their customers from just one supermarket rearranging things.

We need to organize food like libraries organize books. Hank Green created the Chewey Decimal System for that.

Edit: Just saw that Dropout made the presentation about this public: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxMR1TMec04

Not true. Grocery pickup means I give zero shits about the layout.

Nah. I love food and I love grocery stores. There's always weird shit to be found and it's the only place I feel engaged. If they change the layout then it's a new adventure. I'm very middle aged.

Produce is near the entrance and everything else gets delivered so... I'm caring less and less

But no matter how many times I go to the same store I'm still going to walk through the wrong freezer aisle first. I remember growing up and our local Walmart changed layout and my mother lost her fucking lid.

I know. Now how am I going to win Supermarket Sweep?

Running the P - I grab a cart and hurtle myself around the perimeter of the store: bakery, produce, meats, and dairy (the home stretch!). If that changes, I'm screwed.

My trips to the grocery store are spaced out enough that I do a quick sweep of the entire store regardless since I'll need things all over the place. However, I mainly shop at Aldi which is small and so this isn't much of a feat. Still, in larger stores, I look up at the aisle content placards to check if I should skip or not.

Tofu should be kept by both the meat and vegetables, cmv

Jokes on you, keto whole foods means just going around the outside (the aisles are all full of carbs).

Just put like items in the same area!

I wouldn't give a damn about the layout if they kept a little tablet around the store that let you search for the things you want by name and tell you the exact isle number. Amazon has those stupid Alexa tablets in their store but most of the time they don't have up to date inventory

Costco laughs at this

Right way round produce, bakery, deli/meat.

Wrong way round candy, alcohol, waffles.
