For decades, big stores optimized their floor plans to maximize our exposure to products we might potentially buy while we seek something specific. One 7/11-alike near me put bread section on the opposite end of the floor from exit, so to buy a pretty common food item you go all the way past most of their inventory, and other popular categories spread out too to ensure you cover 100% of the store with your footsteps before you fill the average consumer cart of products. This surely adds some %s to their revenue, but makes shopping exhausting if you don't know where everything is.
