"Hmm - everything in this supermarket is arranged in order of spiciness" |
|
| |
Is there a much more boring paradisical version? |
|

It should spiral up. The downward spiral would encourage arrival of shoppers as the checkout before they had adequately persued the wondrous products available for purchase. We want them to linger. Also, I would omit the handbrake, as some backsliding would allow for reperusal of wondrous products. Also, the slope could be slightly but unobtrusively greater in front of certain product displays, whose makers would pay extra to have them so sited. |

I can see the line of extreme shoppers from here. Differing from the standard issue carts to their own specially prepared sport models that look vaguely reminscent of wheeled bobsleds or even logues that will allow them to complete shopping in record time. Parents are begged by teenagers to be allowed to shop for them. The best bringing lots of coupons for paper towels or toilet paper which is packed high right before the registers. |

I like the idea of sloping the floors to guide shoppers. [+] |
|

BTW, there is such a thing as a shopping cart escalator--you wheel the cart onto it, and special grooves connect to carry it up, whilst you catch the people escalator next to it. |

[UB] from the nature of your postings
(increasing references to offspring;
extreme methods of weight loss), I'm
inferring that you've just hit your mid-life
crisis head-on. |

I propose sloped shopping isles leading to the high value impulse retail areas and discouraging efficient transit through the shopping center and everyone poo-poo's the idea. I've got to get more literary and obtuse. To much caffine..... |

| |
[WcW], it does seem to be 99% presentation and 1% inspiration here |
|
| |
oh, & 100% procrastination |
|
| |
It would be more appropriate for the shopping spree to exit directly into Hell. |
|
| |
{WcW] I don't recall your idea about
sloping shopping aisles, but my own
idea is not really about shopping. |

The Guggenheim in New York, and the Ikea store at Kungens Kurva (just outside Stckholm) are both built like this. Since Ikea is a furniture "supermarket" , that makes the idea sort-of Baked, especially since the Ikea store on a busy Saturday before Christrmas does indeed bear a striking resemblance to the lower circles of Hell ....... |
|
| |
I often "backtrack" in the wine aisle.. Bordeaux or Cote-du-Rhone? hmmm. Back and forth.. |
|
| |
15° is actually pretty steep. |
|
| |
Definietely downhill. Uphill would be a deterrent to people from filling their trolleys too much..... |
|
| |
Prayerwheels on the trolley handles would drive the trolley in reverse. Spin ten prayers to move one foot away from hell. |
|
| |
Yikes, I forgot to add this croissant to your shopping cart. + |
|
| |
I'm not in favor of anything that makes shopping more like a cattle auction, and bringing up Ikea's floorplan is the glowing tip on the hot prod. |

I get regular visitations from the holy ghost of TescoDirect. |
