Thanks I’m not alone. My friends laughed at me when I was fed up about things not being in the same place.
I heard it’s intentional, so that you’re exposed to different products once in a while
Why does everyone in marketing think that’s how my brain works? I have NEVER bought anything because of an ad or being “exposed” to it. I know exactly what I want every time I shop and I WILL tell an employee to fuck off if they approach me with the old “can I help you find anything?”. Pushing something into my face only ensures that I will NEVER even think about purchasing the product.
Might be the slight autism though. Maybe other people don’t work this way I don’t know.
There are times where there’s something I want, but won’t get it unless it happens to be convenient while getting things I need. Like ice cream; on my way out I’m going through exactly 1 frozen food aisle and if there’s something else I want to check that’s not in the ice cream aisle, then I just don’t get ice cream (and if I do go through that aisle and I’m still unlikely to get it unless its on sale). The exposure only matters because being exposed to it means its convenient, not that I suddenly want something I hadn’t considered.
They’ve rearranged my favourite drugstore and had the audacity to even move the shelves around so some paths are simply blocked now. dramatic sigh
The has happened 6 months ago and I’m still mad.
I’m old.
lol
You should be mad. They make changes like that to increase the time you have to spend in the store to increase the chance that you buy more than you intended.
Yeah but it doesn’t work on me… I hardly go there anymore because it is so inconvenient now… For me that is. I’ve spent quite a while every time I went there… Now… Only as long as I have to.
But I get the point - it is supposed to keep you meeting new things you haven’t noticed before…
