Question: Can you smell the difference between a Tesco, Sainsbury's and Waitrose shop !?
Answers:
Tesco has a slightly wiffy sweaty smell!.
Sainsburys never noticed!.
Waitrose smells clean you can smell the fruit & veg, no smell from the fish counter!.
Asda well that just stinks!.Never been in a non smelly Asda!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yes, most people don't seem to pay attention to the smell of supermarkets but I really pay attention to the smell in all shops and stores ever since I learned about "artificial aromas" that are used to subliminally affect the mood of shoppers!. Supermarkets pump artificial smells of bread, fruit and coffee into the aisles to make people feel hungry or more relaxed to seduce them into buying more!.

I notice a big difference between Tesco and Sainsbury's because in Tesco I'm first hit by the smell of bread (even though the bread section is at the opposite end) and in Sainsbury's it's the smell of fruit!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yes!. Retailers go to a lot of trouble to make the air smell encouraging so people will spend more while in the store!.
The demographics of the people who shop there will help them to decide what smell to use - e!.g!. a clean smell or a relaxing one!. There may even be different smells in different areas of a big store!. The smell of freshly baked bread for example, and coffee when you are near the coffee shop to make you want to stop and buy one!.
So I am sure that, depending on the type of supermarket you go into, you'll experience a different atmosphere, lighting, aisle width and smell!.
Who says we make our own choices when shopping!. We're subtly guided by the marketing people all the way round the store!.
