We shop at different stores for different things. I refer to Winn Dixie as WD50. Unlike WD40 every time I "use" it I can't seem to get out
without spending 50 bucks! ;o(
There is a science to grocery stores. They get you in by running sales. You go there to buy ????? cottage cheese which is on sale and buy a cart full. I think of it like Vegas.
It is impossible to find the restroom without passing hundreds of slot machines. The smells. Roasting chickens, baking breads and cakes. Even where stuff is on the shelf
all designed to sell you.

Winn Dixie-they seem to be the only store that still uses the original two tier smaller shopping carts. That was the original design. While the bigger carts do need wider isles other store have all decided that with a larger cart you will buy more.
