Hmmm, well, men are the more simple creatures, we don't look for deep logic nor cunning.

And regarding grocery stores, at one point in my career I managed a warehouse of electronics and it was important to keep stuff orderly. Thusly, when checking out, I am a bit .. structured.. that the dairy up first onto the conveyor, meats or other freezer/fridge stuff, then the canned goods, then jars, boxes, produce, eggs and non-edibles.
And I bag it when possible because, of course, I'm the best ******! LOL
