I feel like I should be offended but at the same time wanna go find a bin like this.
I remember my mom taking me to the grocery store with her, and while she shopped around I hung around the soup section organizing the cans. Definitely feel this one
Not ADHD, but I procrastinate like a pro, so this is me as well.
When I used to work in the home electronics department of a department store we had a bin of cheap dvds, price as marked. People would come through and organize them as they browsed and throughout the day the bin would get more and more organized. We were told they sold better if people had to rifle through them, so we had to periodically mix them back up.
I was gonna say, I’m pretty sure the mixing-up is intentional. Giant corpos don’t do anything that doesn’t maximize money flowing into their coffers.
Normies get the dopamine hit from finding a hidden treasure
We get a dopamine hit from trying to make sure everyone can find their treasure
We are not the same
I love the fact that people are hard-wired for keeping things tidy.
(Asterisk asterisk, not everyone, some pigs walk amogus, yadayadayada. We get it. 😉)
Aw nuts, someone got negentropy in my entropic vessel
This causes me physical pain.
You’ve got the manager brain.
Now they have to throw it over and start all over again!
Oh No. HoW hOrRiBlE. i HaVe To SpEnD mOrE tImE iGnOrInG mY rEsPoNsIbIlItIeS? nOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
Great now I can’t unsee that.
Bibliographically correct is enough for me. It’s not the Apple Store
Plot twist:
The image order is reversed.My thoughts exactly, you beat me to it lmao
have definitely done this as a costumer in a store once or twice.
It’s actually pretty hard to start with so little free space, and you can’t buid stacks too tall either because the base isn’t even. It takes time for the space gains by efficient stacking to have an effect. And if you use the floor for temporary storage, employees will yell at you. Ask me how I know.
How do you know?
Two years ago, I got halfway through sorting a similar kind of bargain bin. Not with food items in a supermarket but phone cases in a convenience store (already unwrapped so not labeled with phone models, so my main guide was camera count and position). I surrounded myself with piles on the floor, camera count on one axis, camera size on another, before I made enough clear space at the bottom of the bin to start piling them up - the most common ones as foundation to prop up a bookshelf-like variety display of about 3-5 each, neatly stacked on top. I then used insertion sort to add to the sorted stack from the assortment. Then I struggled to find floor space for the rare leftover ones so that I could put the rest of the overrepresented ones at the bottom and finish the browsable display. I did all this with my unprotected phone in the other hand pretending to compare it to whatever I was holding but I guess it became too obvious with the uniquely-shaped ones. The cashier walked over and made me throw the rest back as quickly as possible.
Speaking of ADHD, I specifically asked my psychiatrist to get tested and it came out negative somehow. I think I could really use the meds but the doctor won’t let me. :(
Yeah. That.
Why is that?
true tho
Me doing this right now actually.
Doing free work for billion dollar corporations has to be one of the most egregious wastes of time ever. If I saw someone doing this in Walmart, I would wait till he was done and then mix them all back up together.
Wow. Can you just read again what you wrote and tell me that you really find nothing wrong with that?
As others have pointed out, these stores want it messy so me tidying things is actually not helping them but it makes me relax and feel good.
You sound like a right cunt if you would go out of your way to undo something someone did.
They actually sell worse when near and organized
The image is reversed. The products were placed in the bin and then mixed up. Digging through a disorganized bin and touching all the products is Walmart’s desired customer experience here. They sell more of certain products that way.
So… good job doing all that hypothetical free work for a billion dollar corporation.
Is this so everyone has to touch everything everyone else touches so everyone can spread their germs and get sick and then they can’t go to work at Walmart where they don’t get health insurance?
It’s psychology. Physically engaging with the product makes customers more likely to purchase it. And having it be disorganized draws the customer’s attention.
I don’t know about the disorganized part. Like book stores don’t do this. But you’d see Walmart do it with like DVDs. I’d guess it’s more about not wanting to waste worker time organizing it.
The candy and the DVDs come neatly packed in perfectly sized boxes.
A messy bin is more work and takes up more space, but it makes shoppers feel like they’re getting a better deal.
I’m not making this up. It’s a well-established thing.
Well books are more likely to be damaged if they are just in a pile whereas dvd and candy boxes aren’t.
Also some bookstores do indeed look like a tornado just came through - just not corporate chains like barnes and nobles.
You’re not wrong, but nobody said ADHD was rational.
The amounts of times i wanted to throw away everything bexause a small inconvenience xD If i got 1€ for every time. I would be able to throw away everything and do a food truck buissness
ADHD does a lot of things but it doesn’t make you perform free labor for Wal-Mart
Who took a dump in your drink?
Probably walmart. Must be a big dump.
Walmart does a good enough job on their own when it comes to exploiting people, no need to do it to yourself
