Sexism? or a good idea?

[saganite]

Hmm, this article was just posted on FR and pulled for some reason.

[upchuck]

This article take the position that men in the grocery store are unusual. Not around here. I’d say 60% women, 40% men.

We’ll assume one side of the aisle contains selections from the orange food group....

(chips, cookies, snacks,.....)

Im sure the cake and circuses aisle cant be far behind....

How can it be sexism when women already have their own aisles?

The idea was to give the lonely male lost in a supermarket a fun shopping experience

Because everyone knows if a man shops by himself or is single he must be lonely.

If you can have the four basic food groups—beer, bratwurst, pizza, and ice cream—all in the same aisle, this is a good thing.

It’s a good idea. They should also create a dinner in 30 minutes aisle. Full of good ideas and recipes. Folks might stop at the grocery store instead of McD’s.

how long before Bloomberg tries to ban it?

Chock Full of Nuts coffee and Gulden's mustard.
Someone has the right idea.

[Olog-hai]

Everything is about sexism when it comes to that kind of stuff, isn’t it.

This was, of course, spawned by a recent ESPN study showing that 31 percent of grocery shoppers are now men, in comparison to the 14 percent in 1985. …

The left continues its assault on the traditional family.

[LearsFool]

Real men aren’t so insecure that they need this sort of thing.

I think it’s funny. The comments at the article indicate that some people have their panties in such a wad that they can’t see the humor in it.

[discostu]

I always thought the deli and liquor departments (often times next to each other) WERE the man section.

This isn’t even new. For at least a few years they have had the beer and the pizza in the same aisle. The next aisle in one direction is the ice cream and in the other direction is soda and chips. They do make them walk all the way to the other side of the store if they want subs from the deli. But I guess the store hasn’t figured out that arrangement yet.

[kevkrom]

All joking aside, this is a Bad Idea™ in terms of the grocery store owners. The whole point of grocery store layout is to make it inconvenient for the shopper, making them traverse as much of store area as possible to get to the most commonly-desired items, so that they will buy more stuff on impulse, seeing it as they pass by.

Does it have girls on trampolines?

[Cyber Liberty]

It’ll never last. Essential items are strewn all over the grocery store floor for a reason.

[tacticalogic]

It should be located right next to the open-topped freezer cases full of “chick” things.
