When you visit your local supermarket, do you ever wonder who it is that puts a lettuce in the shelf of biscuits, or the tin of tuna beside the washing up liquid? Who is it when they look at a loaf of bread decide they no longer want the bottle of ketchup and just lay it down where they stand.
Every time I go to the supermarket that person has got there before me. I now play a little game to see if I can spot where they have been. Surely, it doesn't take a lot of time to take unwanted purchases back to the shelves from where they were lifted does it?
Mind you I suppose the supermarkets employ some spotty faced kid to collect all the wandering stock and reunite it with it's brothers and sisters in time for the next stock relocator to come along and move it again.
If the spotty kid weren't needed then the supermarkets could save on their wages and pass on this saving to us the customers by reducing the price of the stock (YEAH AND PIGS MIGHT FLY!)
Since leaving this moan on the site I have had a number of my family and friends all confess that they play the stock relocation game. I am tempted to name and shame but to prevent embarrassment - you know who you are - I wont (THIS TIME)
