Sure. But space optimization is also a consideration. You can’t put a 24 pack of water on the top shelf for grandma to pick up. It’s designed with the customer in mind as well.

I think that is not exclusive to grocery stores. Hence why my confusion. Every store from Best Buy to Kohls to Target to Costco to Auto Zone has a sale section for impulse buys.
Every company preys on people’s psychology.
I understand just fine. I just don’t agree it’s aggressive or up to the workers. Including the management. Those directives are extremely high up the food chain in terms of decisions. And from my understanding the vendors pay for their space. They want to make it an impulse for that extra 6 pack or bag of chips.
One article that I can’t even fully read? Hardly call that evidence. It’s an interesting hypothesis. However in practice impulse buys are not what the discussion was. It is that the entire store is there to “bombard” you. It’s not. It’s categorized and that’s about it. You are thinking of the “sales” area. Which is routinely paid for by vendors.
Did you? Do you know how most are laid out? Please enlighten me on their “information bombardment”.
There isn’t anyone saying it’s a hostile design. You don’t know what you are talking about.
No they aren’t. They have reset crews that come and change the layout for many reasons. I was a grocery manager for 15 years. Specifically the stocking manager. There has never been a “bombard them with information” directive.
It’s what sells best in the area and make it available. It’s not that highly coordinated.
Rude. I worked as a grocery manager for 15 years.
Dummy.

Mostly because the women I have been with were long term and they preferred not having a condom and on the pill. So I agree with them. It does feel better. But I always try one for the first few times. But it always migrated to not using one.
I don’t think you realize who runs grocery stores. Most are just there because they have to be. They just throw it on the shelf and do what they are told.

Preheat. Pure butter. Low heat. Not minimum. But only like 20% max.
