i think it's very easy to find things in the grocery store except the occasional random item. other than that, if you can read a sign, you can find what you need. it would probably be helpful to the illiterate as well.]]>Apr 30th 2009 6:45PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/04/30/grocery-store-gps-coming-for-senior-citizens-potheads/http://www.switched.com/2009/04/30/grocery-store-gps-coming-for-senior-citizens-potheads/
But in defense of elderly and I'm getting there at age 55, our eyes start to go. I have found very elderly people look to me to read signs above our heads. Not all elderly can afford to get eye glasses changed and some can't lift their necks up without pain. Since the hearing goes too, the sounds of GPS could be a problem but perhaps the store will just turn up the music louder. Smile.

I think grocery stores purposely change shelves around so customers might accidentally run into new products and they might buy more. Most staples (milk, flour, rice) are shelved in the back to 'drag' the customer back there so he might buy more--so I believe these are marketing tricks to help their business.]]>May 1st 2009 8:08AMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/04/30/grocery-store-gps-coming-for-senior-citizens-potheads/http://www.switched.com/2009/04/30/grocery-store-gps-coming-for-senior-citizens-potheads/http://www.vcao.net]]>May 5th 2009 5:10AMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/04/30/grocery-store-gps-coming-for-senior-citizens-potheads/http://www.switched.com/2009/04/30/grocery-store-gps-coming-for-senior-citizens-potheads/http://www.popsnail.com/video-converters/cucusoft-ultimate-dvd-video-converter-suite-6-2-98.html Organic beans on the elite aisle, other canned beans on the canned veggie aisle, dried beans on another aisle, pork 'n beans on the picnic aisle, sale beans on the freakin' endcap."]]>Jan 18th 2010 3:06AM
