Local store recently reorganized the retail floor and some items have moved to new locations. Went looking for Q-tips and usually buy the store brand. I asked a friendly member of the staff and was directed to the new location of this product. I was told that the item must be paid for prior to leaving the beauty/personal care/cosmetic section. No problem with me. I do not bitch to the friendly person who is helping me. I believe that no person at the local outlet made a decision to create these changes.
I’ve got my blog to ask questions. Here goes.
It’s clear the WWII generation is mostly gone now. I can understand that some items are of high value (diamond engagement rings, electronics, etc.) and need to be paid for on the spot. I understand that some items may pose a risk to children (prescription medication, fifth of booze, shotgun shells, etc.) and may need to be sold only to adults.
Not yet understanding why generic/store brand Q-tips fall into any special category.
