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.
This causes me physical pain.
Great now I can’t unsee that.
You've got the manager brain.
Now they have to throw it over and start all over again!

Bibliographically correct is enough for me. It’s not the Apple Store
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.
And then there's some Kaufland higher up insisting we are supposed to organize that.
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
Plot twist:
The image order is reversed.
My thoughts exactly, you beat me to it lmao
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?
have definitely done this as a costumer in a store once or twice.
true tho
Me doing this right now actually.
