    Probably a given for most people, but us regular grocery workers don’t like it when things are rearranged either. We have become really good at locating items to stock, but then when rearranged we have to relearn it and build our speed and memory again.

    We feel you, customers.

      Not to mention, with the in store employees who are shopping for customers now, I can tell you at my store it would regularly take months to update the new locations of items in the system, that’s at a Kroger…

      As a career manager in a grocery store, I’m just getting a kick out of the conspiracies here over why stores reline products or display items on cardboard shippers. I want to hear theories on why end-caps tend to change each week.

        Easy. Manufacturers pay for endcap displays and choice shelf space. It’s advertising for them. (source: I work for a brewery, and that’s how they put together the beer aisle. I’ve seen the software used to build the shelf arrangements.)
