Garron Noone wrote a song about it. Blame the English cunts.
Comment on Every fucking time

They do it on purpose, creating extra work for the workers, extra time and effort for you, because they’ve pushed some bullshit charts around a table and have scientifically deduced that they can squeeze an extra couple of quid out of you.
Actually infuriating.

Is that something that happens regulary in your place? Here in germany, I’ve only seen it after they renovated or replacex old fridges or something
TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world 2 days ago
yes, usa grocery stores change their layouts once every other year or so. it’s because they think it will increase sales.

they’re just pushing more higher margin products. they’ll restock the ‘basics’ more frequently as a result of giving those things less shelf space.

The aging population and those with disabilities is also part of the demand for ready to eat items in addition to those that just don’t have the time anymore because they work two jobs and want something better than fast food.

In Canada, all the fucking time. I find it infuriating. Never more than a year goes by, often less.
That quick in and out isn’t quick anymore.

In the USA there’s studies and such that track how to maximize money from someone shopping. Milk is a well used staple, so it’s always in the fucking back of the store. So you have to go past most everything else to get to it. Then end caps have special, cheap pick up deals for someone who is just here for milk that they may not pass up. Then the checkout the rule is something like $3 and less for items there. Candy, water, soda, everything a kid craves right there to whine and pester the parents about.
