Thanks anyway. I'll try to remember to look next time I'm in the
store. Or maybe I should say "next time I can find the soup in the
store". (They are remodeling.)

We just went through that with my favorite store, or should I say
what used to be my favorite store? I can't find a
damned thing now.

I have yet to see the rationale. The last time, it just
seemed to be busy work. Why do stores just change where
things are anyway? :-(

It's the Walmart syndrome. Ever been in the supermarket at a Super
Walmart? Every damned week they move the things on the aisles around
and even change the aisles. Their marketing people are hoping you will
get confused and have to wander around and the more you wander the
more you will buy. The main reason I don't shop there.

Sometimes it's a bit weird! Yesterday, I tried to buy some ordinary rice
at the local Giant. There was an aisle labelled "Rice" but all that was
there was the dumb precooked stuff like Uncle Ben's. I had to go to the
"Imported" aisle to find regular rice (grown in the US!)
The Kroger store I shop in has the rice and beans on the same aisle.
Convenient as that is a staple food around here. The import stuff is one
aisle over, one side is oriental, Mexican, etc, the other is stuff made
in Louisiana. Never thought I would be importing food from 20 miles away
here in Louisiana.
