I understand they are paltry in terms of size compared to other major grocery stores, but they really don't use their space very efficiently.
They just opened one today near me, and at 8PM at night it was a complete logjam trying to do anything.
They don't have enough space from the front of the aisles to where the cash registers are, and it was so bad you had to go down aisles from the rear, and then back through the rear since the front of the aisles just funneled into a mass of humanity.
Couple this with the fact they have employees out stocking shelves with product that isn't even close to being sold out, so they have trolleys filled with product, taking up even more real estate. It makes no sense, especially when you consider the store closes in a hour, and the closing crew can stock when customers leave. It's like they saw someone buy a jar of mayonnaise, so the employee goes in the back and gets a box of mayo to replace the one jar.
They should have their aisles go perpendicular to the registers to allow better flow.
Once again, I get opening days are busy, but it was to the point you couldn't move in the front third of the store.
