Dave I read your suggestion for the arrangement for a shopper friendly grocery store. I think I know why it’s arranged that way its and probably with good reason. Ladies, I think the men in our lives would quickly get tired of running back and forth to exchange items. Men have to be told exactly what to get in as many details as possible. Its best to include package description as well as size and shape and where it’s located in the store. This doesn’t always guarantee you will get what you want. My husband goes to the store with me and I frequently ask him to go to another aisle to get something. I can see sending him to go get vinegar and oil for salad dressing and he comes back with a bottle of vinegar and some Quaker State 10w40. Believe me stranger things have happened When my father was dating my stepmother, he went to the grocery store with her to buy things for a family dinner. She told him she needed some napkins. He put sanitary napkins in the cart. She took them out and politely said, “Those aren’t the right kind” He went back to get another package of napkins and he came back with more sanitary napkins but a different brand. Once she told him the difference in the type of napkin she wanted. He turned beet red. He thought, “Sanitary, meant they were sanitized. If contraceptive jelly was put with other jelly, that could be very interesting. What flavor would you chose? Grocery Store almost comes under the description of a small village as it is. We have the butcher, the baker, and candlesticks all under the same roof. We can also have a flower shop; pharmacy, bank and a mini hardware store all in one place.. Of course the super centers have definitely made” one stop shopping,” a reality some of them are so big they need a zip code of their own I would suggest grocery stores have a play area for children and a separate one for husbands with a big screen TV. The kids will enjoy it. It would cut down on impulse buying. We have a tenancy to buy extra things when the kids are with us. Husbands can sit and watch TV while we shop. They can watch the game or the race they are so afraid of missing. They are conveniently close enough for us to get more money from them if we need it. We just have to figure out a way to keep them from fighting over the remote. |
