I am shocked and dismayed that so many have chosen to see so much in so little. Though in all honesty I probably shouldn't be surprised. Let me lay the realities out for the group. Stores routinely shift, and change their layouts. Firstly it often ensures they make best use of space, and secondly it reinvigorates sales. Consumers are prone to oblivious memorization. Rearranging the products forces them to actually look at products again, and this increases impulse buying.
Basically changing a layout is standard practice rather then a judgment call. Retailers will rework areas two or three times a year. Further more retailers do not change layouts chain wide as some of you were fond to say. Retailers rework their layouts regionally, as districts, or store design. No retailers do not carbon copy their stores. What is offered varies from region to region. So to is the layout.
Bottom line do not read too much into shit like this. What is important is the physical space, and the quality of the offering. Look at how much is carried, and how updated the software is. That will tell you everything. Poor selection and poor rotation is what should catch your eye. Not what is closest to a main aisle.
