Reminds of “The Big Bang Theory” when Sheldon wound up giving purchasing advice to strangers because the staff was clueless. I have found myself in a similar position as a career IT guy. In fact, I was at a party, when someone mentioned they were having trouble with their printer. My girlfriend nudged me but I just shook my head and kept my mouth shut.
At our huge three letter Texas chain grocery store once they realize people are able to find things, they rearrange everything in the store. If you go in to get an item and can go to it straightaway and check out, you don’t spend enough time in the store wandering up and down aisles looking for it, thus you bypass any number of impulse buys and items you might want but don’t really need. They haven’t done it since the COVID-19 pandemic, however. I guess they’re willing to let people reduce the number of potentially virus laden exhalations in the interest of public safety, although they don’t enforce the masking requirements very closely. Not just customers, but even some of their stockers wear their masks under their chins, and they don’t do a thing about it.

I had a lady come and get me to help her find the buttermilk
When we got there her husband was standing right in front of it
I said “looks like you found it”
He says “no, where is it?”
I point to the door, blank look, open the door and point to the product, blank look
I pull one out, and hand it too him
“Oh, I was expecting it to look different than that”
