    Don’t overdo it too much, Ralph, otherwise they’ll soon be calling it the “Ralph Drabble MEMORIAL Aisle”.

    I would have made it worse – not easier for him.

    It’s standard strategy. They hope you’ll buy something else while you hunt.

    And since Ralph is presented as a sort “Joe Average Guy”, it’s also the Joe Average aisle, so it should get loads of traffic.

    Kevin Fagan may have created a new word, like Al Capp with “Sadie Hawkins.”

    A new definition of “one-stop shopping”, Ralph?

    Is it extra wide to accommodate those who shop there?

    There is a whole science to setting up a grocery store. Things they want to sell are at eye level, things that don’t sell well are at then end of the aisles where you see them all the time. Bread and milk are at opposite ends of the store to make you lass everything else. Companies pay for premium shelf space. Suppliers that do not pay premium have their items on the lower shelves.

    One of our stores not only rearranged their layout, but they put street names on their aisles. Instead of aisle 6 being next to aisle 5, aisle Creekside is next to aisle Broadway, and the names don’t relate to our town streets so you might be able to guess the order.

    Usually the staff rearranges the stock in order to ensure freshness. I saw the night crew taking apart the shelves to move them. Ugh! The number of perishables that had fallen down in between the cracks. Grapes turn to raisins. Bread turns green to penicillin. Toss them into the trash.

    He also has his own display at the donut shop, but it’s usually empty.

    Who needs anything else after you got Pizza, ice cream, and junk food.

    Due to a combination of bad kerning and bad eyesight, I read “junk food” as “junk poop.” You may now return to your regularly scheduled program.

    That is done for marketing purposes; Marketing the only career based on lying, other than actual crime.
