I let people drink what they want and I stick with my non-alcoholic drinks. I am at stage when I can join party but not to drink or crave it :blush:
Sometimes I have thought “hmm, what if…how would it be…”, but never for too long… :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

I thought I was the only one who gets livid when grocery stores rearrange. After spending 30 extra minutes hunting for something pretty common, only to find it in a new, totally unrelated section, I managed (barely) to keep it together when the cheery 20-something cashier asked “did you find everything OK today?”.

After managing a big box store…I 100% assure you, we absolutely hate doing it…

It really makes me wonder. Which is more valuable. Me coming back several times a week because I know where everything is? Or pissing me off by moving stuff around to trick me into wandering around for a few extra minutes one time?

My current grocery store hasn’t moved anything in ten years. :relieved: I’ll literally go out of my way to stop there because I know I can be in and out in five minutes.

Reminds me of several years ago when my usual grocery store back home got bought by a larger chain, and they had reps asking customers at the door for their thoughts and suggestions.

“What did you think of the new layout?”

“Well, I don’t care for it really. I’m used to things being in places in the store that make sense. I’ve never worked so hard for sundried tomatoes”

blank stare

“OK, anything else you would like to share?”

“The new branding has people flocking to the store. Good for you guys, but bad for me. I don’t care for flocks”

I’ll never forget the interaction. In my head, my responses were a mix of dry humor and my actual feelings, but probably came off as me being crusty.

For the company I worked for…the suppliers had to change something with packaging every 17 months. In return, we had to move their product. “Studies showed” these changes boosted sales of products

Studies show that 9 out of 10 people, account for 90% of the population.

Gosh, didn’t expect to open such a can of grocery store worms LMAO :sweat_smile: It pisses me off too when they rearrange everything. Good thing is, I’m the one doing it, so I usually know where to go LOL.
