Why Do They Do That?

Since you are not me (The Noticer) you have not noticed that there are people out there that have nothing better to do than to go around baffling people like me into saying to myself, “Why Do They Do That?”

Today’s baffling notice is shoppers who go into Costco (and other grocery stores), put products in their carts and then go to other parts of the store and take the products out of their carts and leave them where they do not belong.

It might look to you as if I have nothing better to do than take pictures of the Re-Displayed Products in grocery stores and it looks like that to you because it is true I have nothing better to do than to do that. Half the fun of noticing things is the giving in to the strong desire to tell people what I have noticed and it makes me no never mind that they don’t care a whit about what I have noticed.

Here is photographic evidence that Grocery Re-Displayers are really out there and I have nothing better to do than take pictures of their Re-Displayed Products...

Why this not a Nice Thing To Do?...

Ø Costco has to employ people to go around their stores and gather up the Re-Displays and return them to where they were originally displayed.

Ø Some of the Re-Displays require Refrigeration or even Freezers and may have to be thrown away if not rescued in time.

Ø It makes Costco look bad in the eyes of their shoppers who say to themselves, “Costco does not know how to set up proper looking displays. I’m going to shop elsewhere.”

While we are talking about Costco let’s talk about this about Costco...

Costco sells a lot of clothing from big displays where the clothing piled on top of the big tables. When the day starts the clothing is neatly folded and very eye appealing. Then the customers start browsing and pick up, look at and fondle the clothing trying to decide if they are going to buy or not. If they decided not to buy, they drop the clothing as if it were a hot potato and move on to pick up, look at and fondle other pieces of clothing. It does not take long for the eye appealing displays to look like a big mess because they customers are expert at unfolding but absolutely clueless about refolding.

Again Costco has to employ Re-Folders to constantly get the displays back into the Before-They-Opened-The-Store-Eye-Appealing Look.

One day I slithered up behind a Costco Paid Re-Folder and sort of whispered in her ear, “You do know that Sam’s Club (located a block away) employs people to come in here and mess up Costco’s Clothing Displays”. She did not look at me as she kept folding but I know she heard me because she started to laugh.
