As to being unhinged - I felt that I must be dramatic and forceful to counteract the bad practice that this new aisle system has created. And it is an example of a systemic trend for the US. I am trying to be patriotic and SAVE lives. I can only write in an obscure forum. But, I am trying my best to understand the meaning of SMALL things that lead to big things, an I put it in black and white hoping that others will read it and mentally think about it as they shop at Publix and walk the aisles. I have an opinion about aisles. I have NO mountain to shout that opinion from. If I can change one opinion about the bigger meaning of "asiles" and trends, then it was worth ALL this typing. As to a SCIENCE example - that is ALL the TV news has been about for 8 plus months. The science of epidemiology. One easy to understand example that applies to Publix aisles is one that has been shown on TV often and probably on

You mentioned "shoulder to shoulder" when passing someone in a two way aisle. Well.......same thing happens when you pass someone in a one way aisle. You wind up shoulder to shoulder as you pass that person. I used to do it all the time when one way aisles were in effect. There really is no redeeming value of one way aisles other than to make you spend more time in the store. Get in and out quickly is the way to go.....less exposure to everyone.
