Some Musings on the Placement of Menswear Departments Within High Street Stores


It may not be very PC, but can I say that I don’t see why men always have to walk through the women’s section in clothes shops in order to get to the men’s stuff? After all, women will crawl over broken glass to save a few pence on a designer bag, whilst men are famously lazy when it comes to shopping, so it doesn't make sense that shops expect men to make more effort and always put the women’s section on the ground floor. 

I appreciate that stores spend large amounts of money employing psychologists to study the shopping habits and patterns of humans so they can work out what music to play and how to lay the shop out, but if they’re such experts why don’t they realise that if a man enters a shop looking to buy some new socks but is faced with having to fight through a zombie-like army of women scratching and clawing each other over slightly reduced sale items, he’s simply going to abandon his trip and go home?!
