This weeks reading on grocery stores made me wonder if this method of organization is echoed in other types of stores. The larger stores, like Petco and Walgreens is organized in such a manner, so I looked a liquor stores. This one has no name that I could find. The neon lights say liquor, liquor, beer, wine, so in my head that is the name of the store. There are very small lanes which people can walk down, but there was no organization that I could find beyond a wine section, beer in the fridge, liquor along the western half of the store. Sambuca was next to vodka and amaretto. The rum section was small. All and all, it is similar and very different from the grocery store model.

This is my local Publix store. There are very few windows located in the front of the store. It's very odd, almost casino-mentality: if the customer can't tell how long they've been here, they'll shop longer and buy more. It works. I lose track of time in grocery stores frequently. The lanes were large and well-lit. Signs were everywhere. The entire store smelled like bread. A very different experience than Liquor, Liquor, Beer, Wine store.
