Wal Mart has to redo their stores every five freaking years? I mean, I get used to where things are, and then as I begin to feel comfortable, they change it. grumble grumble

I had to use a map to find my shampoo. BASTARDS!rant laugh

And this is different from other super stores and grocery stores, how???

They like to watch you wander the isles pissed off looking for shampoo. Then they take your picture and put it on http://www.peopleofwalmart.com/

every store does that... reasoning's for resets are products come and go... the alignment gets off balance from new and old products that they carry.. the stores get paid for the space each company uses.. things that sell well go to eye level and are the more expensive brands.. reach up or down you get cheaper priced items or less popular smells flavors etc.. its a sales tactic to drive sales up. some brands lose shelf space some gain usually goes to highest bidder.. such as "end caps" they are paid for .. if they dont follow through with the displays some of the stores get docked... meaning the company"store name- albertsons-target etc.." has to pay back the provider" frito lay, procter and gamble.etc" of the brand that purchased that area.. say a new product came out.. and it is 4 spaces wide and they sell 2 pieces of that in one week , well it needs adjusted down to 2 spaces wide it goes by the sales... why stock stuff that isnt selling? or have too much of it taking up the shelf and then something that is selling the shelf only holds enough to where it goes empty? stores dont have that much space in the backroom to back stock everything..remodels happen about every 5 yrs in every store.... however resets on the shelves happen about once a yr.. in all stores.

They have more money than what they know what to do with. I mean they can't donate it to a good cause because well that's less money for them.

Plus it's true they want you to spend more time in there thus, causing you to spend more money. Profitting them and therefore, we are the reason they keep rearranging and expanding. I try so hard to avoid Wal Mart at all costs. I would rather go to superstore.

Our superstore has been here for a long time now and they haven't rearranged anything.. Just added an organic section. But nothing rediculous like Wal Mart those bastards.
