I'm always amazed when people know what shelves and aisles things are at off the top their head. I am asking 100% expecting people needing to ask some who runs that department or to check the system.

It takes a while to learn, but now I’m glad I know where some of the weird, obscure items are that people rarely ask for. It’s nice not to have to scour the store thinking “I just KNOW I’ve seen it around here somewhere…”

Nah if you stock it you learn. Almost can't help it.

Yeah but you're not paid to restock your house for 8h a day lol.

Back in the day there were stores that could definitely answer such questions. The employees were trained to be able to tell you which aisle (side and end) you could find their products.

Not anymore. Guess the training got cut so the CEO could get his quarterly bonus for being a genius. /s
