    When I used to work in the home electronics department of a department store we had a bin of cheap dvds, price as marked. People would come through and organize them as they browsed and throughout the day the bin would get more and more organized. We were told they sold better if people had to rifle through them, so we had to periodically mix them back up.

      I was gonna say, I’m pretty sure the mixing-up is intentional. Giant corpos don’t do anything that doesn’t maximize money flowing into their coffers.

        Normies get the dopamine hit from finding a hidden treasure

        We get a dopamine hit from trying to make sure everyone can find their treasure

        We are not the same

      I love the fact that people are hard-wired for keeping things tidy.
