Not all stores follow the same model, but you can be sure they are putting things where Mr/Ms Potential Customer will likely grab them. They usually get my dollar with their loss-leaders placed at the ends of the aisles, since I rarely shop inside the aisles and mostly shop the perimeter and center (produce, meats, frozen, and dairy).Knittermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07041128699407906736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1910463869933192732.post-6474843352626494172008-11-21T17:17:00.000-07:002008-11-21T17:17:00.000-07:00I love Walmart, however, the one in Jefferson City...I love Walmart, however, the one in Jefferson City is all mixed up from what I was used to in Vero and Sebastian, FL. Those two were mirror images. The one here in Jeff City is just like Florida, but Morristown.. forget it. I get all twisted around in the Morristown because it's far from a mirror image. Doesn't make sense at all! <BR/>We have the friendliest greeter at our Walmart, Bob. He sounds like Santa Clause when you come in. OVERLY positive, jolly, ready to say something upbeat. It's great. I look forward to seeing Bob when I go and miss him if he's not there. <BR/>We don't just have the overweight people, but overweight with shirts that don't even closely fit over the huge hillbilly beer belly. GROSSS!!!! The other image is a guy or girl (yes, girl) walkin' around walmart with the overalls and no shirt underneath. (Girls wear a sports bra) Grosserrr! Flab hanging out the sides and the overalls just barely go up to the hips so flab is sticking out all over the place. Unfortunately the store is not big enough to make wide enough aisle. I just hate playing bumper cars when you try to pass. <BR/>Is there really any rationale to store layouts or does every store have their own rationale to confuse us and make us pass more items getting more than what we went to get in the first place?Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17347102666611220829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1910463869933192732.post-71107543020185425752008-11-21T08:46:00.000-07:002008-11-21T08:46:00.000-07:00hahahahahah... Dried fruits, nuts, marshmallows, a...hahahahahah... <BR/><BR/>Dried fruits, nuts, marshmallows, and even chocolate without fancy wrappers, and chocolate chips -- all that stuff comes under the category "Stuff Used in Baking". I had to learn the hard way the rationale behind some store layouts. At my store, peanut butter and jelly stuff is right next to the bread, but mayo, mustard, and catsup is somewhere else, near the vinegar. There are 3-4 places in a store to find "chocolate", for example, so you have to think about what kind you want and what you plan to do with it. <BR/><BR/>My Kroger yesterday had not a speck of "Pumpkin Pie Spice" so I had to buy a new Allspice and a new Nutmeg. But they did have "Apple Pie Spice". Go figure! <BR/><BR/>As for the overweight women in spandex and neon thongs... they're everywhere. It's an 'expanding' problem all over the country. hehehe<BR/><BR/>went today, showed yesterday's receipt, and they didn't even bother to find the checker. They just replaced those missing items. It's good to be a regular face. :-)Knittermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07041128699407906736noreply@blogger.com
