My scabs haven’t even healed, the wound is still too fresh.
Last year the grocery store I go to remodeled for almost 5 months. Each and every week that I went in there, entire sections had been moved to a new location. Signs weren’t updated at all during the process, and there weren’t any employees to be seen, so it was time consuming to find stuff. Plus, the store was disgusting during that time.
Not only that, but they significantly reduced overall product selection and moved the aisles closer together so that you can barely squeak 2 carts side by side down the aisles. There’s no room to maneuver and get around folks.
The big “win” was that during the remodeling, they didn’t have all those displays down the middle of the main aisles blocking everything up. But that turned out to be false hope, because once the remodeling was done, those displays all came back with a vengeance.
The other big “win” was more space in the checkout area, including more self-checkouts. But that turned out to be false hope because within a few months, a lot of the machines have been permanently “broken”, some were converted to cash-only, and they added AI cameras to them that lock the machine up about every 3rd item.
