actually two supermarket chains (I learned something).
they already have hired organisational psychologists.
there's a lot more that goes into the product placement / tracking now they can more readily collet up all the purchase information, though.
and things they can do with eye gaze tracking software and the like. the strategic use of loudspeaker advertisements. the strategic use of phantom shoppers (notice how when most people seem stuck to make a choice if someone dives in and grabs something swiftly the stuck peron will copy).
and so on.
it just makes shopping a really unpleasant sort of an experience. like trying to avoid mines walking through a minefield. i guess that's why you make a list and ignore discounts (or have a list of 'only if discounted' or whatever. but what you need only when it is discounted rather than when you need to replace)
