The biggest issue with Market basket is their company policies on enforced bagging and on shelf "straightening." Half the time I'm looking for something at MB, it's been buried on a shelf by some idiot kid who doesn't understand that products have varieties, and they thought the shelf would be prettier if all the boxes looked the same. And those same idiot kids get my groceries when I'm checking out and completely destroy them. Great, I saved $1 on ice cream, but this kid decides to pack it on top of a rotisserie chicken and bury the whole mess at the bottom of the cart under 2 12 packs of soda, so when I get to my car I've lost $10 because I have to throw out the ice cream and the chicken.

I worked at shaw’s in high school and when it was slow, they’d make us go block the aisles - what you call straightening. It’s really just supposed to be pulling stuff forward, not mixing things around, but the first thought I had last time I went into an MB was “wow this is some impressive blocking”
