We need a standardized grocery store organization system. Like dewey decimal.

    What makes you think stores would want that. The reason they reorganize stores to increase profits. They identified certain areas of the store that sell better and move product that they want to increase sales there.

    Yeah, but fuck them. That's why we have laws.

    I'm curious. Are there countries with laws preventing that? If so, I'm curious which ones and what the law says? I can't think of a good law that would prevent stores from doing that.

    Well, the original post was proposing that we make that happen somehow. I propose that we use laws. There are lots of laws regulating the interior of a supermarket already, this is one more, although a potentially complex one.

    As someone who spent years working retail, it works and is necessary. Gotta sell stuff to stay in business. It's not always a scam to force you to buy things you wouldn't.

    Doesn't even need to be moved to a high traffic area. Sometimes just moving it a few feet makes a difference. People get 'product blind' when it just sits in the same place forever.

    How does this work? Do people not already know what they're going to buy before going into the store? Does nobody make a list?!?!

    You never had situation when you saw something new and thought to try it?

    If you never do that, then you are in very small minority. I do use shopping list, but still might occasionally get something more than what was on the list.

    This is how stores could influence that through strategic product placement.
