I wish grocery stores (especially those you can also order from online) had a page where you could pick the store (if there are multiple) and then search for the thing you need and it had a number label that would be associated with the section it is in. This weird example from op would be: beer 10, butter 10, wine 10 etc without it being confusing because it isn't a category anymore and you only need to look in that section instead of looking like a lost kid running around in the whole store. Also filling up that big sign with just a number would be a lot easier to read from far away.
They can keep the categories if they stick to them, like meat, bread, snacks and so on so ppl who do not care about the number system can still kinda guess like today...
Some stores do just that. I know I've done it for Target, Walmart, Home Depot, and Lowe's.
Home Depot has their interiors mapped out on Google Maps.
It's fantastic. Since they did that I'm pretty sure I've never spent more then ten minutes in one unless I wanted to.
I get mileage outta this one in particular too. Still sometimes get turned around and bamboozled, overall I've kinda learned to treat the info as more like...the Platonic ideal of a perfectly modeled store, lol. The many changes and failures and surprises just make me even more grateful that any of that info is in there and works well. Really convenient.
Yes, I think other types of stores are better at it. But the stores that are only groceries, are there any that use that?
Bloom did it 15ish years ago. They even had an electronic kiosk where you could look up your item. (I'm not sure if Bloom the grocery store still exists.)
I've seen other places have a rotating list on the cart handle, which listed where common items would be.
I saw it a bit late, they actually have a number assigned to the sign. Do they use a number system already? Who is it for?
The store's app will list the aisle number, of the specified store, if you pull up a product. However the app is a cluttered mess that commonly has issues loading, so asking an employee is just faster anyways.
I think it's just so an employee can say "that's in aisle 7" without having to walk you there.
