Annoying af: the discrepancy of interests between a consumer and the market (which uses tools as reorganising the products to increase sales by confusing the consumer, making them roam more products and as a side effect costing invaluable time and nerves, it’s systemic torture in a subtle way)

I had optimized my shopping run for max efficiency, dodging slow, aimlessly roaming other shoppers. Organized my shopping list in chronological order as the items appear along my route through the store…
And then those fuckers rearranged THE WHOLE FUCKING STORE.
I hate grocery stores.

They only seem to ask at small places like TJa and they don’t seem to every change anything so I’ve never had to answer no.
But I do think I overheard someone say no and was actually told how a product wasn’t in stock currently and that they’ll get more on Wednesday (iirc?). It was weirdly helpful, which broke my cynical brain.

Not since they took the scan gun away. I’m not going to take everything out of the cart to put on the stupid scale

Where I live there is no scales in any stores, you just scan and pay. Well Lidl does have a scale for produce, but the scale is only active when measuring the product.

At first I thought this basket was a little absurd and thought it might be AI, then I realized this is TOO ABSURD to be AI and wouldn’t have proper training data to mimic.
Who tf gets a wooden basket full of produce at the supermarket? Mad respect for that person.
