A subject near and dear to my heart (ha!): A Collection of Vintage Supermarket Photos. Love it.
On that note, here's an A-to-Z of Retail Tricks to Make You Shop. Just a note: the page includes "Go to the back" - placing essentials like bread and milk at the back of the store, meaning they are the furthest from the front door and coincidentally, the items people most want. Idea being that you have to walk past everything else, and be tempted, before you get what you really need. I once asked a merchandiser who works for a large grocery company exactly why it is that stuff like milk and soft drinks and bread, etc are at the back of the store. His answer was much more practical and made a lot of sense to me. From a logistical standpoint, the heaviest items are merchandised in positions closest to the loading dock, which is always at the back of the store. Also items that require refrigeration/freezing are in positions nearest the dock to reduce travel time in open air during stocking. Lightest items, like chips and produce, are at the front of the store. Concerns about temptation and impulse are secondary to the concerns of time, energy and spoilage - bread, for instance, is replenished several times daily and it doesn't make sense to have your stocking staff running all over the store with skids of bread, blocking customers.
