Grocery shopping is so much easier once you are familiar with the layout of the supermarket. I even know people who write their shopping list in the order that they pick items up as they go around the shop - now that’s organised! I like it when you know exactly where to head to for your bread or milk. It’s good to be focussed and it prevents you picking up things you didn’t go in for. Why then do they always change the store layout just as you get used to where to find things? You rush into the supermarket to pick up a couple of items, head straight to the aisle where you usually find them and there’s something else there - how frustrating!

Seasonal merchandising in particular, means you have to traipse up and down the aisles looking for the toilet roll because it’s usual location is jam-packed with Easter eggs or Christmas Tree decorations! I understand that at certain times of the year, the shops have to have a change around to accommodate seasonal stock, but when they do it ‘just for fun’, I’m not laughing! Especially when there isn’t a friendly assistant around to point you in the right direction. Or, worse still, when you find one and they haven’t got a clue where the coffee is ‘because they keep moving everything around!’
