Wrong Aid

I don't know anyone who likes the designs of the Rite Aid stores, with the aisles at weird angles and such. They've compounded the problem at the one near me by "reorganizing" the store. As best I can see, this means having all the shelves packed with stuff without your being able to find anything you want to buy. Hmm, there used to be razor blades right here and now there's toilet paper and christmas lights. And what happened to all the batteries from the battery display? It looks like someone's following a directive from some central office and giving not a thought to the customer.

The highlight of this trip was the halloween candy section. By now we're up to 75% off stuff, and it's always worth a peek to see what hasn't managed to sell even after a week of being 50% off. There's lots of gummy stuff. I've never really gotten the whole appeal of gummies. If I want something gummy I get gum. Just like if I want something chocolatey I get chocolate. I wasn't surprised to see either the Gummy Body Parts of the High School Musical Gummies left in the bin. And who thought Chocolate Skittles was a good idea?
