Sophisticated Marketing

Just back from the dreaded weekly shopping for groceries etc and suddenly it hits you right in the face. For weeks the apples are in the same place, you know where to go, all is well and good. next time you go to the same shop down the same aisle, no more apples, no more fruit nor more veg. Emergency are we on food rations? What has happened to my apples?
You madly stop one of the assistants in their  track and firmly say "  where are the apples?", they reply as if we are some sort of mado, " there over there sir, aisle 4". I ask them once I have calmed down "Why did you change ? The reply astounds me " To keep you on your toes"

There is a saying if you want to do well, sell people what they want and need and keep them surprised all the time.
Well, now I get it, in that aisle where the apples were supposed to be ii is now something new  they want you to see and buy. They know your going to go down that aisle, it seems like they have inserted some kind of electronic tag into you, and there is a man sitting in a dark room watching your every move in the shop.
Sophisticated marketing, well if that's what they call it, I have to say fair play to them, they certainly know how the human mind works?
That could lead me onto another topic come to think about it called ( Mind Control), maybe another time.
