Let's start with this - I LOVE MY MARKET BASKET STORE. Ok? Love it. Great store, nice folks working there too.
But I took this pic over vacation because everytime I see it I think - "WHO THE HELL IS IN CHARGE OF AISLE PLACEMENT?"
I mean - SERIOUSLY!
Who thought it was a good idea to put the CHOWDER across from the TAMPONS????
And "Feminine Needs"? What is this 1960? Hahaha-
And let's break it down further, shall we? The entire left hand side of that board could be summed up with one word: SOUP. Where else do you think you're going to find Chowder, noodles or broth? Cmon man! WORD ECONOMY is king when it comes to signs!
But what really perplexes me is the FEMININE NEEDS AND SANITARY NAPKINS!!! Does anyone even use those phrases that isn't 90 years old? And WHAT ARE THEY DOING IN THE SOUP ISLE! Shouldn't the soup aisle maybe contain sauces? Maybe pasta and italian ingrediants or salad dressing? What about beans or canned foods? Who thought- "LET'S PUT THE MASSENGIL STRAWBERRY DOUCHE ACROSS FROM THE PROGRESSO SOUPS!"
I laugh every time! And then - as if that's not weird enough - they put "BABY FOOD" in there AND "ASIAN" food in there too! First, Baby Food should be with other baby products like diapers, right? And Asian food may be easier to locate if they had an "International Food" aisle, no?
Maybe Im just thinking too much, I don't know! But I really don't think someone looking for General Tso's delicious sauce is going to think - "Hey, lets check the baby food aisle!", let alone the "KOTEX EXTRA LARGE SUPER SIZE FEMININE NAPKIN" aisle, right?
But hey-
What the hell do I know!
