In the days of Covid-19, it’s preferable to get in and out of public spaces quickly. So why are grocery stores still hellbent on making your shopping trip as long as possible, potentially exposing their workers to a larger virus load?
I went to a nearby supermarket this morning to get a few things. I must have traversed every aisle looking for a particular item, which I concluded it didn’t stock. While I was searching the baking aisle, a woman asked me where she could find pancake mix and syrup. I conjectured that they might be in the same aisle with the cereal. (Luckily, they were.)
In normal times, grocery marketing logic is to rearrange stock on a regular basis so customers spend more time in the store and pick up impulse buys. These are not normal times.
