And why the *** do they put the milk and the cereal on opposite ends of the damn store, anyway. I want to eat my cereal now, but I don't want to go back to damn Vons for milk. Hmph!

to answer your qustion, its all marketing and psychology. advertising depts. from various food makers pay huge revenues for product placement in stores, statistically it has been proven that if you alphabetize soups, there is an overall drop of 30% in over all purchase of the said soup products. to create a pleasurable shopping experiance, store layouts entice you to enter by showing you freshness of cold crisp fruits an vegetables. by then your browsing through asiles scoping deals, realise the incosistencies of similar products needed in a meal? meat in one location, canned foods in the other direction... its all meant to keep you walking through and spending more than what you come in for initially. due to the fact the average shopper is female between 4'4- an 5 ft, the instore aisles are spread aproximately 8ft apart. with about 6 ft of shelf height because the eye level of most women is between these height measurements the shoper grasps a better over- all vision of different products an brands.. thus the products are easier to see, and the products sell better.
