Description Remember that NOTHING is casual in this awful society where people are CULTIVATED to consume and nothing else than that. Around you almost everything has a "secret" meaning, that you are not supposed to see, understand or crack

The entrance is on the right, yet you walk leftwards, duh
In all modern supermarket the slave MUST follow a counterclockwise direction: 95% of the population of the world has a slight imperfect equilibrium, they tend to the left...

Why do they start with fresh fruit?
People coming inside a supermarket tend to conserve the velocity and the inertia of the streets... they would "jump" the first 10 meters of merchandises if you did not stop them with the explosion of colors and smells that only fresh fruit can offer. Note that the disposition of the fruit and vegetables is NOT casual (far from it). The whole point in supermarket enslavement is that the very few thing that are really useful and 'must' be bought (say toilet paper, sugar, salt or vodka) are overwhelmed and interpolated with completely useless products and/or with much more expensive varieties and qualities of the same kind, because of the huge profits on those articles and of the smaller profits on basic products.

Expensive is easy, cheap is difficult
Products are so positioned so that the expensive ones are ALWAYS positioned "towards" the march direction of the slave: at the best height to be picked up. The cheaper verities of the same articles are always "behind" the march direction of the slave, and/or a little too low or a little too high.
Now stop and have a look at the varieties of a given product. Humans stroll with the eyes from left to right (like you are doing now, when reading), therefore notice how the CHEAPEST varieties of a given product are on the left, the more expensive on the right, in the hope that slave's hands will be quicker as slave's brain (as it's often the case nowadays).

What are stoppers?
Stoppers are the "dynamic" part of a supermarket... most of the slaves come here twice in a week (at least) and do not want to see always the same things in the same places (they could come to the -right- conclusion that they are being 'drilled to buy' ) even if they at the same time want to be reassured... "I know where's the wine". Everything must stay where it was, but a part must move... hence the stoppers, little mountains of "offers", toilet paper to-day, shampoos to-morrow.

Cry baby cry
There are queues at the cashier. Note that there are almost ALWAYS queues: the turns are so calculated as to spare personal whenever possible, that means that there is always a 'queue length' that is considered 'acceptable' (the slave will not burst off leaving the chariot and jelling "never again!") and that they try to avoid, for obvious profit reasons, to have cashiers waiting for clients instead that the other way round. Besides: there is money to be made through queues! In fact that's the right moment to bite the slave's kids, which are terribly annoyed and ask for the products that have been purposely put on the two sides of the cashier queue.

I'm going to keep in mind the trick about the cheaper goods next time I go to a supermarket.

AHHH. Shopping. The religion of adolescents, the eau-de-vie of the rich...

Needless buying to fill our souls. Fun Fun Fun.
