That happens. I will look up and down the aisle at least twice. But sometime after the third, you can't claim I didn't at least try not to pester you.

At least some of the time it's the store's fault anyways: moving things around for some obscure marketing reason. My local store has moved distilled water at least a half-dozen times, the onions shifting places a couple times a week and entire displays that shift weekly.

It's the things that are in 3 or more places that drive me up the wall.

Sundried tomatoes? With the pasta sauces, the produce, and the deli section.

That actually makes sense to me because it's used each of those three ways. If, say, bananas were in the deli and the pasta section, that would make far less sense.

Sure, if they put the same brands in all three sections.

Hard to compare prices/products when they're each in a different section.

My local store has honey, in two different aisles. Different brands in each location. No idea why. Put all the bleeping honey in the same place!

It has a soft drink aisle but the Jarritos sodas are in the ethnic foods aisle. Do Mexican grocery stores put Coke and Pepsi and Shasta in the "foreign foods" aisle?
