The Truth Behind America's Supermarkets...




*Disclaimer: This, sadly, is not the MegaPost. I was unable, due to several factors, to get the necessary information/files/other crap that i needed in order to put together the MegaPost. If i had tried, it would have been of poor quality and as a result unworthy of the title "MegaPost". Instead, as it seems, the MegaPost will most likely be on Wednesday, since i have two very important Psych exams on Tuesday and Wednesday. Wednesday afternoon i will have plenty of time to work on the final touches of the MegaPost.


Yes, i know...i said, "Hey everybody, i will have the MegaPost on Friday!" and in reality, i was unable to deliver. I guess i finally have the requirements to run for the presidency. Seriously though, i will be working nonstop on Wednesday to get it to you all. Between then and now though, i have plenty of studying to do involving moral development and psychology testing methods. Loads of laughs.

Right now i am exhausted, but i have to stay up till my laundry is done drying. Blah... As you can tell from this post, or maybe it is just my imagination that you all have noticed, my posting is not up to my full standards... Yes, i have standards!

I think, for today's post, which will be short, i will discuss something that i learned about in my very last Psychology 209 quiz section: The truth behind Supermarkets.

Did you ever wonder why some supermarkets play that horrendous stuff that is actually ranked worse than elevator music?
Did you ever wonder why some of the most essential things that most people buy from supermarkets are all the way at the end of the store, such as bread and milk?
Did you ever wonder why some stores have the entrances to the store that leads all the way around the store before you can even get to the registers.

Well, actually, you probably haven't because you have better things to do. I know i do. But, for the sake of talking about nothing for another five minutes, i will tell you why supermarkets do the things they do.

It is all a drawn-out plan to keep you all inside the stores longer, so that you will end up buying lots of stuff that you truly don't need. Yup, its true. Supermarkets actually hire psychologists and analysts to study human behavior and determine how and where people spend their time inside the supermarkets. Just think about it. That's why supermarkets place the bread and milk products all the way at seperate ends of the store. It's all the work of the evil powerhunger supermarkets and their equally reprehensible psychol...

uhm...
no...not at all...

love your fellow psychologist. he is your friend. in fact, he is the only living, breathing, human being who can help you. therefore, you must pay him truck loads of money and give them all your expensive jewelry and other valuables in honor of their helpfulness. appease your local psychologist. he is good.
Nice.
