I know this experience isn’t unique to my favorite grocery store or stores in Connecticut or even the northeast. All over the country some stores have decided to rearrange their aisles so that nothing is where it was. Some things have been moved within the store. Some things apparently will no longer be sold, and some things seem to be lost. Whereabouts unknown.
I’ve tried to make sense of this. Maybe it’s based on research into human behavior. Maybe they want to force us to explore the entire store (again). Maybe the shelves need to be smaller to prevent our noticing that the packages are smaller. Maybe it will eventually make life easier for the people who stock the shelves—increasingly vendors, not store employees.
My wife and I were exploring the store and we noticed one of the items we often buy. I pointed to where it used to be. Then my one-liner occurred to me:
Despite the fact that I could never find these things before, I now clearly remember where they used to be.
One-Liner Wednesday by Linda G. Hill
















All five of my current books are now available in audio book form thanks to Amazon KDP’s Virtual Voice process. The voice is AI generated, but I can honestly say, it’s pretty darn good. The audio books are reasonably priced (all below $7 US) and, if you already own the Kindle version and want to add an audio version, you can do that for $1.99. There is a five-minute sample on the book page for each book. If you’re interested, click on any of the Dreamer’s Alliance book links below the image or on the link below for my latest book.
