I always believed Wegmans was a liberal establishment and always refused to visit their Cherry Hill store. You are right about Shoprite though! My favorite supermarket.
2 Decembers ago I revisited my old tried and true Shoprite in Clinton, and was horrified to find that the retail psychologists had invaded and rearranged the store to that "A.D.H.D. impulse consumer layout"... they took the dairy and moved it to its own "wing" now all enclosed in coolers with doors. The whole point of visiting that store, that I once proudly would get rainchecks on butter when it was on sale for $1.47/# (WOW!)... and would be exchanging coupons with random grandmas and Hausfraus like we were only friends, was that sense of "home"... and here the consumption architects screwed it all up.
The Washington, NJ Shoprite... when that new store opened, it was built to the Wegman's meets Lowe's plan... excessively high ceilings, mazelike discontinuous and offset shifted aisles... and Sunny D next to the motor oil in the last aisle where the MILK should be...
Stores should flow so the produce is first, and the frozen food is last.
