    Sounds like they might have arranged it so that customers have to search for things and hope they impulse buy things they did not intend to. Profit seeking is likely behind the reduced selection as well.

      Oh definitely but it’s had the opposite effect. There are fewer people in the store than ever and personally I’m shopping at much smaller mom and pop grocery stores now.

        It can do that yes - I also avoid some stores that do it. I guess it works for them though as they still keep doing it again every few years.
