A few days ago I mentioned that while shopping at Wally Mart, I had to ask for the location of bags of candy. I was told it was across the store by the bicycles. This caused me to wonder, but I think I have the answer as to why it is there. Say you have a parent that enters the store on that end of the building. Say the parent has a bunch of kids with them. Kids go with bicycles. So, when the kids want a new bike, the parent simply says no and gets them a bag of candy. I know that’s what I would do.
The most interesting things happen at the store I go to. They have just been allowed to sell beer. They use the pilot method of marketing. They pile it here and pile it there. You can’t walk down the aisles for the beer. I don’t think there is any by the bicycles, but that’s because there is no room. The candy is there.
On my last excursion, I got a cashier that sang all the time she was scanning my purchases. She never acknowledged me until she totaled the bill. She did not sing any songs I knew.
Guess I should have asked if she took request.
