How do you decide what you are going to buy in a supermarket? Do you look in the refrigerator and make a list? Do you think about what you want to cook and then buy the food you need? Even if you do these things, the supermarket makes some of the decisions for you. There are some people who have studied how to make people buy more food in a supermarket. They do all kinds of things that you do not even notice. The food that everybody must buy, like bread, milk and vegetables, is spread all over the store. You have to walk to find these things. The expensive food is in packages with brightly colored pictures. It is put at eye level, and so when you see it you want to buy it. The things that you have to buy anyway are usually put on a higher or lower shelf. However, candy and other things children like are on lower shelves.Studies show that after a person has been in a supermarket for 30 minutes, she or he spends 50 cents every minute. For example, if someone stays40 minutes, the supermarket has 5 dollars more. So the store has a comfortable temperature in summer and in winter, and it plays soft music. It is a pleasant place for people to stay and spend more money. So be careful in the supermarket. You may go home with a bag of food you were not planning to buy. The supermarket, not you, decides you should buy it.
