How’s that?
They stock the snack foods like crackers and packaged cookies directly across the aisle from their baby goods.
What’s that? You don’t like Wheat Thins with baby-fresh scent or the thought of diapers when scoping out the Double-Stuf Oreos? Eww. Neither do I.
This must be a thing for me, given previous posts on the whacked out way of organizing grocery stores.
This is at the Arden & Eastern location, so maybe they’ll have items in more appealing places later on following the remodel.

I was idly passing conversation over beers the other day with a gent that happens to be a suit for Raleys, Inc. I asked that very question, although mine was more of a “layouts should be standardized in the industry” rant. I learned a few things that were interesting to me. I was told that some stores change the layouts regularly, the idea being that if you can’t find something where it used to be, you’ll wander aimlessly through the aisles, exposing yourself to more possible impulse buys. As for items placed in areas that don’t make obvious sense, I was surprised to learn that like the music business (and I suppose Walmart), some vendors pay a fee to get their product in a certain spot of the store. None of these things seem concerned with being convenient to the customer, but there you have it. My personal Taylor’s is the Compton’s on McKinley Blvd, the last remnant of a once proud Sacramento chain. You can find lots of fun stuff there.
