you never old enough to give, a fuck about comma placement though,
-
It was so out-of-place, I didn't even notice it!
-
Well obviously it should have been a semicolon separating clauses. It should read:
The older you get the more deeply [you get]; out of grocery stores, you care about the lay.
-
i always read commas as pauses, and when they're at the end of a line they sound like breaths. it sounds so weird in my head.

What insanity compelled OP to place a comma after the word deeply?
-
Maybe German is their first language?
edit: on second thought I don't think so. While German commas applied to English are awkward, they usually still provide a logical flow of ideas. That's not the case here.

The older you get the more you understand they change the layouts of supermarkets to disorient you intentionally
-
A lot of research and marketing is going into this confusing - the simplest equation is: The more time you spend in the place, the more likely you are to notice products you haven't before and buy stuff you don't actually came for (= don't really need).
Have I said "Fuck Capitalism!" today? Can't say it often enough I guess.

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

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

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.

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

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.
-
The problem is the shelf space is sold to the manufacturers. Budgets are ever changing and market researchers are constantly doing research about how best to cross sell etc. So the space where the expensive cheese is today could change tomorrow if someone else buys that space

That’s my Costco.

Hank Green is hilarious, the work him and his brother do inspire me every day.

Don't forget to be awesome

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.
-
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!
-
Are they shrinking it? Or are we just getting bigger?
-

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.
-
Not true. Grocery pickup means I give zero shits about the layout.
-
be me
walk into grocery store
left-handed layout
why even bother

Right way round produce, bakery, deli/meat.
Wrong way round candy, alcohol, waffles.
-
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.
-
I know. Now how am I going to win Supermarket Sweep?
-
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.
-
Produce is near the entrance and everything else gets delivered so... I'm caring less and less
-
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
-
Just put like items in the same area!
-
Jokes on you, keto whole foods means just going around the outside (the aisles are all full of carbs).
