I'm thinking about how I can retaliate against the stores, specifically grocery stores, that I often visit when they move the product around in the store so that I will have to walk around more and look for it.
Their intent is to have me walking around more so that I may see something else (that I hadn't come to buy) and buy it.

I highly resent this manipulation of my time and would like some suggestions on how to retaliate in a fashion that gets them to stop this practice.

Also, they keep the most frequently purchased products as far away from each other as possible. I can live with that as long as they don't keep shuffling them around.

I do not go 'shopping', I know exactly what I want each time I go to a store. I hate these bastards for wasting my time.

blam, I suggest you buy your groceries at Publix. They treat their employees well, and expect their employees to treat their customers well. It there’s something you can’t find, Publix employees won’t point or describe where you can find it — they’ll lead you to it. On several occasions, my wife has asked for something our Publix didn’t stock, and the manager ordered it. Great produce, great meats, superior bakery, outstanding customer service, and fair prices. We enjoy trading at Publix.

Stew Leonard's. They have (had?) one continuous winding aisle so that you'd have to go by every product the "dairy" sold.

Reminds me of the maps of IKEA stores with the semi-secret "by-passes" if you're in a hurry.

I have noticed the same thing. My remedy is to shop at the health food store that is smaller, pricier, but easier to shop because the gluten free products don’t get moved around like hostages.
