This type of behavior is a coping mechanism when under high amounts of stress, ie controlling what they can rather than confronting the adversity of the unknown.

it can be therapeutic in moderation

How do you explain the next person who scrambles the bin?

Coping mechanism for shitty parenting.

Well obviously supermarkets put the worst product in the easiest to reach place, so if you want the highest quality candy box or whatever's in there, you have to dig to the bottom.

What do you mean that doesn't make sense in this context?

Psychopathy

The display looks better, and probably generates more sales in the "mixed up" state. The little hunt for discovery gets shoppers more emotionally invested. The mixed state looks fuller and more busy. Some staff member probably had to mix up all the candy initially.

Though it looks really satisfying to organize it.

Came here to comment this. My first job was stocking shelves and I was taught to make the discount bin look like shit because it drives sales.

He turns around for one second and it's back to the first picture

Customers are drawn towards a nice looking display and will be willed by an unknown dark force to destroy it.

I made a video game about this phenomenon, sourced by many years of retail experience.

That's just entropy doing its thing.

I'm a part-time agent for the forces of entropy.

Yeah, well, entropys a dick.

My gf when I tell her we need to leave now or we will be late.

Does anyone know what his shirt says?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago (2 children)

It says "fake psychic. real detectives." with a fist bump underneath. It's a reference to a TV show called "Psych." I couldn't find the exact t-shirt he's wearing, and the only "official" listing I could find is in the NBC Store (I can provide a link if you want, but t-shirt links on social media always look a bit fishy, so I won't include one in this reply; you can also just go to the NBC Store and search for "fist bump" there).

Great show. Cary Elwes and Ally Sheedy pop up sometimes.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

Ha, awesome, thank you

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

Those bins are huge. This must have taken hours.

i just noticed this meme is entirely gender-agnostic
