Safeway Adds One-Way Aisles, Although Few Notice

Yesterday, GM suited up and went shopping at Safeway. He noticed that Safeway has now added “one-way” aisles.

These measures are designed to avoid the crowding that takes places as two shopping carts pass in different directions. It obviously doesn’t eliminate crowding entirely, because people still often need to pass as other people stop and browse the shelves. But it’s still an improvement.

Or at least it would be an improvement, if people even noticed the signs, which most didn’t. Frankly, GM didn’t notice them until he overheard two other people talk about how easy it was to miss the signs.

So spread the word! Notice the signs! Politely point them out to people! We can do this people!
