Nakd bars. With the biscuits? With the cereal bars? With the GF/Free From range?

(Or why not all three? Looking at you, Tesco)

Our local big Tesco just moved biscuits, tea and coffee right to the far end, past booze, past frozen food, the last vestige before you get to household products and that. People were fuming. I literally mean fuming. I went in on two separate occasions and got subjected to a rant about it by two separate aging customers. I do not work there.

Sainsburys have lunchbox popcorn next to the snacking fruit AND in the crisp aisle. I suspect they’re not quite sure what popcorn is

Tesco put some of the ‘proper’ protein / health food bars in the pharmacy section.

Easily the question I’m asked most.

In answer to the OP, coleslaw. Some shops have it with the prepared salad bits, other in the deli aisle.

Nuts. Put them all by the baking stuff don’t sprinkle them around.

Icing sugar

Is it with the sugar? Is it with the baking stuff? Will they have changed their mind about where it should be since the last time you had call to buy some?

#15

Sure, the baking ones, but dried fruit and bigger non baking nuts should be with the fruit. Some big chains have different types for each place. Small bags for baking and bigger bags for eating

#16

Give me an entire nut aisle. It’s all I want.

Big supermarkets should have some kind of navigation app
