I finally caved and had to ask.
A supermarket I go to sometimes around a year ago decided to “reorganize” everything. The first day I went there after the reorganization I almost suffered a meltdown. You know where they put the biscuits and cookies?
You guessed it! In the same aisle than stationery and printer ink. I am not kidding, the psychopath who did this, for some reason decided that printer ink was somehow related to breakfast biscuits.
printer ink was somehow related to breakfast
For when you want your coffee really, really black.
Unless you’re out of blue ink, then you can’t print black coffee, even if your black cartridge is full.
I think it’s more plausible that the original fridge had broken down, so butter was relocated to an alternative temporary.
Well of COURSE the butter is in the Beer & Wine aisle. I mean where ELSE would you expect to find butter? In the DAIRY section? It is to laugh.
Butter beer. Somebody like Harry Potter
“I can’t believe it’s not Budweiser”
Nothing like the old wine/butter aisle
For the really good nights
If looked at in a certain way butter is a chilled beverage.
I wish grocery stores (especially those you can also order from online) had a page where you could pick the store (if there are multiple) and then search for the thing you need and it had a number label that would be associated with the section it is in. This weird example from op would be: beer 10, butter 10, wine 10 etc without it being confusing because it isn’t a category anymore and you only need to look in that section instead of looking like a lost kid running around in the whole store. Also filling up that big sign with just a number would be a lot easier to read from far away.
They can keep the categories if they stick to them, like meat, bread, snacks and so on so ppl who do not care about the number system can still kinda guess like today…
I saw it a bit late, they actually have a number assigned to the sign. Do they use a number system already? Who is it for?
I think it’s just so an employee can say “that’s in aisle 7” without having to walk you there.
The store’s app will list the aisle number, of the specified store, if you pull up a product. However the app is a cluttered mess that commonly has issues loading, so asking an employee is just faster anyways.
I like a buttery Chardonnay
I used to live a couple blocks from a Safeway that decided to put the canned beans and canned chili in the wine aisle, with no sign to direct you there. Is throwing random shit in the wine aisle just a Safeway tradition?
shop smart! shop S-Mart!
Man I hate safeway so much
So does everyone that works at Safeway
They prob do that because butter is a loss-leader
Does the other side of the sign say the same thing?
Sorry I didn’t get back there for a bit, but here’s a pic of the opposite end of the aisle from today.
Neither mention butter.
Unless they consider it a “chilled bev”, lol.
Omg, lol, beer and wine

Push enough soldering irons up enough urethras and this’ll stop. Dealer’s choice on when during this process to plug in the iron.
I had a though recently. It would be neato to have some open source, crowdsourced world database of item locations, where you add this sort of information.
Tagged search of a store, where certain items are. What’s stores in a city sell X item. That sort of thing.
Call it “WorldDB”, bake it into OpenStreetMap.
No idea what the legality would be, but I would LOVE it.
May write a post about it at some point, as I am no programmer.
The problem is that stores regularly change the locations of items so everything would be constantly wrong.
