My local grocery store moved the bread aisle overnight
I was at the Food Mart on Oak Street last Tuesday morning, picking up my usual items. I walked straight to where the bread has been for the past five years, but it was just a wall of canned soup. I checked the store map, and it showed bread in the old spot. I asked a worker, and he said the bread had always been on the other side of the store, near the dairy. I know for a fact it wasn't. Now I double-check every aisle before I grab my cart. Has anyone else had a store layout change without anyone else remembering the old way?

Drives me nuts when they do that. Happened at my usual stop off I-80 last month. They swapped the coffee and chips overnight. Took me ten minutes to find my brand. Feels like they're just messing with us on purpose.

My local grocery store does this every three months like clockwork. They move the cereal aisle, then the baking supplies, then the canned goods. It forces you to walk past new products, which I'm sure is the point. You end up buying things you didn't need just because you stumbled on them. It's a strategy, not an accident.
