Oh aren't you a special case?

Hey, I resemble that remark . And only do things like that to close family and friends. (It's almost good as "remind me to do <x> later" resulting in "hey, do <x> later" immediately afterward.)

I picked that up from my parents. And my dad is a retired electrical engineer. That explains a lot.

Drives other people nuts and earns me dirty looks. Mission accomplished!

@Juwl: Hey! I hadn't slept. You're lucky that's my only typo. LMAO and nutshell. All better now!

Aw, and here I was with visions of a house with dancing walnuts inside. * to self*
Why yes, I am strange. Makes my life better.

edit: I like the typo fairy idea.

I don't know if what EricKai described is common but I do know that companies will pay grocery stores extra money to be in certain spots. Eye level is the most expensive spot for anything not marketed to kids; anything on the bottom shelf where kids can reach it is the most expensive spot for things marketed to kids. Check it out when you go to the grocery store next time--items near the top or bottom will cost less than the same item at eye level. Fiance says this is just part of marketing.

I honestly, never paid attention. LOL And Rooted; I do too. My friend made me a bottle little fairy for my birthday. When I mistype, I say she got out.

tpm is absolutely correct -- Eye level for general products, waist-level for kiddy stuff. That's where you'll generally find the stuff with the highest markups.

Toys R Us does something similar -- they sell diapers absurdly cheap (probably at or near cost), but they put them waaaaaaaaaaay in the back, past all the pretty toys...This works because parents are often stupid enough to bring their kiddles WITH THEM when going to get said diapers...

There's also something called the "psychological right". Department stores use it. The items that they really want you to buy, they'll put on the right of the entrance as people are walking in because most people have a tendency to go to the right first. Which is why I go to the left.

Good luck trying that in the grocery store I visit. Once inside the entrance, you are directed to the right. The left is where the checkstands are.

Which is why you only see it in department stores, not grocery stores, or places like Wally World or Target.
