Daytime observations…

Today I’ve had a mamoth day at work, started at 9 and in 8 hours I’ve moved around loooooads of the shop (Y) good days work. Whilst I was being a busy bee, i did notice a few things…

Firstly, why is it that young children can walk round a convenience establishment and shout out the names of products and noone takes any notice. I really wish I could still walk round the supermarket and just shout out “BANNANAS” wherever the mood takes me. This one girl today was going crazy. Am I weird, or is this a common thought?

Secondly, are the sizes of shelves and products related in some ISO style system. For example, I was rearranging the cereals this morning and all the boxed of cereal fitted perfectly on the shelves - as if there’s some secret society of packaging and shelf designers working together on equal sizes for all products. I did notice however, that Cadbry’s Animals do not conform to the packaging sizing equilibrium. Damn you Cadbry’s.

I will leave you with my musings for the day. I apologize for the mundanity.
