When you go into a store you go to all the time. You know where everything is. You can go into the store and get everything that you need and leave the store real quick. When you go back to that store then next week they have moved everything around. You can not find what you need. You can not find what you are looking for. I have a very good idea. Leave it alone. Why oh why do they keep moving stuff around. Leave it alone.

The stores move everything around because the more people have to look for things, the more they see other things they believe they need so buy more. I hated resetting aisles when I worked at Walmart... I'm glad I'm retired and don't have to do that anymore.

@DaddyEvil At our Walmart it is hard to find help. So I just go to another store.

@jstory07 Most people just ask where it was moved to.

I am with you on this, leave it alone! As soon as I learn where stuff is, it's moved to another area.

@jstory07 - You waste plenty of time searching where they moved what you need.

I just always assume with sales changing, and new products coming in, they were kind of forced to do that. I bet the workers would prefer everything being left alone too.

I am sure the workers do not like stuff being moved around either.

You have a great point that items should be left where they are inside of a supermarket.

I agree with you, they should leave it alone. It wasn't broke before, so it does not need fixed!

Some people think they do it on purpose. It’s not for efficiency, it’s so you will follow a different path looking for items you want to buy, and hopefully buy something on impulse. But I totally agree with you, it’s a huge pain.

Yes it is and sometimes I just forget the items and buy it at another store where I know where it is.

@jstory07 Sometimes it’s really hard to find what we need when they keep rearranging everything, I don’t like it, either.

Walmart is a very large store. I agree with you that when they move things you spend a lot more time searching and when you finally find it you realize you have to walk to the other end of the store to get something you forgot. It can be rather frustrating. But at least they have bathrooms and air conditioning and if you are lucky enough to find a parking space near the entrance that is a blessing in an of itself.

If I have the time I will look around when they move things if not I will go to another store. I am not loyal to any store.

@jstory07 I personally do not like Walmart, but my wife does because she rides on a mart cart but if I were going to get things myself I would be in and out in under 30 minutes. I prefer smaller stores like Aldi and the local Healthfood store. Other than that I buy most things online on Amazon. Save gas and time and headaches . IMO. :)

I totally agree with you on this Judy I have no idea why stores change stuff around You see people wandering around clueless , looking for stuff that they can't find anymore because some bright spark had moved everything

Glad it didn't usually happened that here. That's honestly tiring to keep looking around if you are in a hurry to buy what's needed to buy.

That is true and they should leave it alone. Sometimes they will move everything in one aisle to another place.

They want you to have to wander the store looking for stuff. It is deliverste and a marketing ploy.

I don’t like that too when the supermarket keeps on moving their products elsewhere. It costs a lot of my time finding what I am looking for.
