Morrisons supermarket.....?!
Answers: just been ages trying to get my shopping done. They've moved everything around and it took me ages. Why do they do this? Somethings I never found at all. Has your Morrisons done it too?
All supermarkets do this from time to time. And believe it or not, they don't do it just to piss you off. There is a TON of work involved in reseting an entire store and it's not done unless absolutely necessary. Companies are constantly coming out with new items and discontinuing slow moving ones. New items need to be cut in, old ones need to be pulled. Usually this is done on a very small scale.
However, sometimes, you just need to move everything to make the store more efficient for the shoppers in the long run. Maybe they're trying to make all the stores in their chain more uniform. Yes, it's inconvienient. But it's far worse for the people that work there. They have to figure out where everything is all over again as well AND deal with a ton of screaming angry customers.
I've been working in supermarkets for about 5 years now as a vendor. I've seen a ton of resets done and every single time a store rearranges everything like that, They print up a lists of where everything is so that the customers know where to look. There's probably a pile of them with the weekly circular when you walk in the front door. If not, ask for one at the customer service desk.
Granted, we don't have Morrison's around here, but unless they're really looking to lose business, they will have a little directory thing for you. Also, you can take comfort in the fact that they won't be doing that again for another 5-10 years.
In theory, its supposed to make you walk up all the aisles and look closely at the items looking for things which makes you more likely to see seomthing ot on your list and buy it.
On the whole, it generates more money for them, although seomtimes it backfires as you left without somethings, but on the whole, they make more money.
Shop online!
I think they do it so you will have to walk all round and may buy additional stuff you didn't intend to buy. Plus, of course, they'll have a load of seasonal Christmas stuff and if they put that somewhere they'll have to move other stuff and so on
No not ours as it has just opened but Marks and Spencers have moved their food hall all around. I don.t want Christmas food till Christmas !!!!
i hate morrisons, for this reason and others. when you add it up they're not even that cheap..............more reasons to shop elsewhere. plus truly horrible carrier bags. i prefer tescos.
Every supermarket does it.
They make you look around for the things you want and hope you will buy more things you wouldn't usually when you have to search instead of just going to the shelves you know where the stuff you want is.
All Supermarkets do it. Very annoying to say the least. It is supposed to make you buy more. In my case its quite the opposite as I see it is in yours
probably run by a woman and there only purpose in life is to frustrate us mere men
To make you spend more time looking,And hoping you will spend more on buying on impulse.
