I got in an argument with a toaster and now I lost a bet and I’m here just to get my house back.

  • I think that is not exclusive to grocery stores. Hence why my confusion. Every store from Best Buy to Kohls to Target to Costco to Auto Zone has a sale section for impulse buys.

    Every company preys on people’s psychology.

    I understand just fine. I just don’t agree it’s aggressive or up to the workers. Including the management. Those directives are extremely high up the food chain in terms of decisions. And from my understanding the vendors pay for their space. They want to make it an impulse for that extra 6 pack or bag of chips.


  • One article that I can’t even fully read? Hardly call that evidence. It’s an interesting hypothesis. However in practice impulse buys are not what the discussion was. It is that the entire store is there to “bombard” you. It’s not. It’s categorized and that’s about it. You are thinking of the “sales” area. Which is routinely paid for by vendors.




  • No they aren’t. They have reset crews that come and change the layout for many reasons. I was a grocery manager for 15 years. Specifically the stocking manager. There has never been a “bombard them with information” directive.

    It’s what sells best in the area and make it available. It’s not that highly coordinated.
