When you walk in your local grocery store and see a Pepsi display with a football player or something and a big stack of Pepsi products right there how do you all think that happens?



This thread is showing me that a shocking number of people have never considered that the layout of the stores they shop in are not either arbitrary or necessarily based on what's best for the customer.


Loss leaders are the epitome of user hostile.

Bread, milk, butter, etc the farthest away from the entrance so you can't just go in and out.


When you ask the shopkeeper where the Pepsi is, and he insists on showing you a Coke knockoff while actively hiding the Pepsi from sight, that is when you stop patronizing the store. This is what people in this thread are fired up about.
