Is this so everyone has to touch everything everyone else touches so everyone can spread their germs and get sick and then they can’t go to work at Walmart where they don’t get health insurance?
It's psychology. Physically engaging with the product makes customers more likely to purchase it. And having it be disorganized draws the customer's attention.
I don’t know about the disorganized part. Like book stores don’t do this. But you’d see Walmart do it with like DVDs. I’d guess it’s more about not wanting to waste worker time organizing it.
The candy and the DVDs come neatly packed in perfectly sized boxes.
A messy bin is more work and takes up more space, but it makes shoppers feel like they're getting a better deal.
I'm not making this up. It's a well-established thing.
Well books are more likely to be damaged if they are just in a pile whereas dvd and candy boxes aren't.
Also some bookstores do indeed look like a tornado just came through - just not corporate chains like barnes and nobles.
