The world is getting lazy...

Last night, Jimmy and I went to K-Mart because we wanted to get The Golden Girls Season 1 on DVD.

Being Jimmy, she marched straight up to the counter to ask if they had any left and was given a blunt 'You'll have to go look on the shelf.'

So we went over to the 'TV Series' section and we were greeted with the K-Mart Alphabet, which is very, very random. It's as if they used a bag of Scrabble tiles and randomly drew letters to decide where to put the DVDs. And I'm not just talking about the 26 letters of the alphabet, but the ENTIRE bag of Scrabble letters so you have Bs, As, Ss, Ts, As, Rs, Ds, Ss, etc. scattered randomly on the shelves.

Is this some sort of retail ploy to make you look through each and every display to find the item you actually want so that you just might possibly stumble across something else you might want and buy that too? Is it? IS IT?!?!?!

Maybe it's the obsessive-compulsiveness in me that makes me think that it's not too much to ask that things such as DVDs, videos or CDs, be alphabetised on the shelf .

Then again, maybe the world is just getting lazy...
