One Way Isles
Before I moved to The Villages, I shopped exclusively for groceries at military commissaries. The isles were marked on the overhead with direction arrows. I really liked this system as you could maneuver past slower shoppers with ease. When I moved to the Villages, I kept looking overhead for the signage out of habit. I found myself in isles waiting for shoppers to pass in the opposite direction so I could get around someone in front of me. It was like trying to pass a car with oncoming traffic. It was a little frustrating at times, but I kept reminding myself to slow down. I may be in the minority, but I like one way isles, especially in those stores with narrow isles. I think it just comes down to what you are used to as we are creatures of habit.
