Many retail spaces look the same. I don't know about you, but personally, oftentimes when I walk around the mall, I can't tell which store I'm in unless there's a sign to inform me.

Luckily, this isn't always the case. Some businesses don't think it's enough to just have clientele and invest their resources into making our shopping experience as pleasurable as possible.

Whether they put up balloons to designate produce and help us navigate the aisles or set up A/C-controlled dog houses to provide our pets with a comfortable stay while we go about our business, turns out, there's still creativity in the retail sector.

So we at Bored Panda put together a list of pictures showcasing some of the best solutions to remind you to stay mindful about where you spend your money. If we give it to these folks, maybe their competitors will try to catch up and these practices will become the norm!

My guinea pig was such a brat at times. He broke a tooth and so had to get medication while it grew back. He loved orange slices as well, and was a pain to give meds to, and he'd never sit still for my partner at the time. To make it easier for my partner, I tried injecting the meds into some orange slices, and he threw those to the opposite side of his cage, away from his food, then proceeded to eat the ones without meds in them. Also, if we gave him slices of carrots, but buried it under some food to make him have to eat other stuff to get to it, he'd just pick out the pieces of food on top, throw them around, then get the carrots. XD

Most stores give you leftover leaves and veggies for your pets. It’s always worth to ask! They usually mark it off, if it’s veggies they can’t sell anymore. Outer cabbage and salad leaves are free and very rarely did I have to pay a tiny little prize. Definitely worth asking!

Obviously not the US. People would ruin it by being entitled a$$holes and choosing beggars about it. "Are these organic? My pet prefers strawberries, can I have those instead? What do you mean I can't take it all? It says 'free'!"

I weep for the USA that my first thought was, "Well yeah that's a sensible thing to do but while it would work in Europe or Japan, here in the US some nutter would sue because it wasn't good enough or something". But I know from working with a food charity that a LOT of trimmings and whole veggies / fruits get tossed trying to keep things looking nice for the consumer.

Here in Australia, in an initiative to reduce waste, we have something called ‘the odd bunch’ which sells oddly shaped and marked fruit and vegetables, the stuff that normally gets thrown out, for a discount.

Years ago my local grocery store had a salad bar. Well one young lady decided to bring her hamster in and feed it from the salad bar. She was asked politely to leave the store. In a way I felt sorry for her but she should have known better, at least I think so.

    As Bob Phibbs, also known as The Retail Doctor, points out, retailers should seek new local store marketing ideas because direct-to-consumer (DTC) brands are targeting their formerly loyal customers through social channels.

    Price and promotion strategies that were once used to attract shoppers have lost their effectiveness, according to Phibbs, because many consumers realize that "once-in-a-lifetime," "Super Saturday," or friend and family sales are like buses - it's only a matter of time before another one comes along.

    When curbside pickup, driven by the pandemic and fear of going into the store, disappeared for many retailers, and the need to find creative ways to bring shoppers back increased, Phibbs asked his followers to share some of their favorite methods to attract customers.

    One of the first suggestions was to create your own YouTube channel. Eli J. Gurock created one that educates people about his company, Magic Beans, and its products and business. It generates a tremendous amount of goodwill, and viewers reciprocate by shopping.

    A recent customer comment on one of the posts reads, "Baby is due in June - I'll be buying the Nuna Pipa RX from your store because you deserve the business for this awesome video! It's been a huge help with my first-time dad-to-be jitters."

    In Poland, the hardware stores still let you buy screws and nails by weight instead of in the stupid pre-packaged quantities we have in the UK. Need 4 screws to do a job, have a pack of 100 and be stuck with 95 screws you'll never use - I knocked off one for that one that wouldn't go in and you chewed up the head on.

    B&Q have a pick and mix section, but it's a set size of bags, kind of like the Morrisons salad bar. Fill a bag with whatever you want from the section, and it often works out cheaper than the packs of 10 they have. I picked up a whole pile of spare screws last time I needed a few nuts. Just a shame they didn't have the bolts I needed too.

    We have probably a bit more than half of Aussies using reusable bags. A big help was laws stopping use of plastic bags of certain grades of plastic and shops charging for the ones they are allowed to use.

I’m Germany it’s the opposite: you can bring your dog inside any restaurant, but only service dogs are allowed in supermarkets. Obviously the laws from the health department differ a lot…

    that's a nice idea where they can do it. I don't know of any grocery stores in my area that would have the square footage to do that. One of the selling points of hydroponics is they can create a 'farm' in an inexpensive warehouse / unused building in the area so it is a short haul to market. But space in the actual shopping centers usually costs a lot more. It's still pretty cool though. I love seeing more stuff like this being tried.

    Another option is to create a sense of scarcity. Sharing her neighborhood marketing success with The Retail Doctor, Jennifer Backus of Jenn's Java said that, "during the initial lockdown, we posted 'Dessert Drops' with pictures of desserts as we were cutting them in the store. People would message us to reserve items and then come grab their assortment at the end of the day. Thankfully we've been able to stay open for at least pick up through the entire experience. It was wildly successful."

    I'll admit, as an American, I am humble by this picture. People in other countries take the time and effort to learn different languages to provide service and a comfort for others. Yet many Americans fight tooth and nail to keep foreign language out of our schools. By withholding this opportunity from our children, they are being taught to be less accepting of others.

    I’m sorry, but could you tell me where people are fighting to keep foreign languages from being taught in schools? I’ve never heard anything about that. Every school I know of has some foreign language classes. My kid goes to a public school in Memphis and she’s taken Spanish, Mandarin, and Japanese. I took four years of Spanish (not that I’m very good at it). I went to college in another red state and even the kids from the small towns had taken a foreign language at some point. Also, we aren’t pushed to speak other languages fluently because we already speak the most commonly spoken second language in the world. Statistically, we are less likely to need to know another language. You’ll find that fluency in a second language isn’t that high in the UK, Australia, or New Zealand, either. Canada’s rate is higher due to it’s large French speaking population.

    hmm not accurate - grocery stores usually have their regular shipment of veggies and then a small section for locally grown or organic grown by farmers of that area. these veggies are cared for longer and usually over priced.

    Do they also tell you how much they PAID the farmer? Here at least, the big chain stores often pay the farmer less than the cost of production, but they still advertise how they work closely with farmers to get the best produce... blah blah blah, profit profit profit, exploit exploit exploit.

    Finding novelty with mass appeal can help retailers too. A good example comes from Alberta, Canada, where Debbie Sue brought in locally grown heart-shaped cucumbers. “I special ordered them as a novelty item for Valentine's week at our garden center," she told Phibbs. "Posts, videos, sharing customers stories on Instagram. Value added. Literally no other retailer has these."

    Cool but if you eat avocados you know which one to pick I guess it might help people who want to try but I can tell if it's ready to eat now. If you can't get a already ripe one put it in paper bag in the dark. Ripens quickly.

    We are spoiled in the US. I can get all of that year round except the watermelon because food is shipped in from mexico and also california green houses and such so it is always 'in season' somewhere. And some crops like apples are stored in climate controlled ware houses and brought out throughout the year. This is not a flex BTW. I'm just thinking out loud that Americans often don't know how spoiled they are in certain areas.

    If the fruit is in season where you live, it’s more likely to be local. It is not a guarantee, though. Otherwise, the fruit will be imported from a far away place where it is in season.

    "Attracting customers takes great visual merchandising, creative use of social media, and innovative use of how customers interact with you on the web, via email, and text," Bob Phibbs, the author of The Retail Doctor's Guide to Growing Your Business says.

    According to him, building word-of-mouth buzz around your brand requires training your crew to open their hearts to a stranger, actively listening to what they are saying, and finding ways for them to buy what you have to sell.

    Most British supermarkets stopped selling sweets at the checkouts several years ago. Some still sell snacks, but only things like trail mix, dried fruit, or sugar free gum, which are healthier, and which kids are less likely to be interested in.

    Yeah, I did this once, and it was a book that I absolutely did NOT want to read due to the subject/content. Got home and unwrapped it only to find this out. Returned it, and the librarian, who also had checked me out, asked me how I like it. I felt sad to tell her my truth. She admitted that she knew which book I had gotten, had liked it herself and was so excited for me. :(

    Um, cute but no thanks. I like to know what I am buying and also whether I have already read it. I do try to avoid just the cover take though. What I tend to do is flip the book open to a random page once or twice and read a couple of paragraphs. Does the writing style draw me in? Am I temped to read past those paragraphs? Then okay - I will probably like the book.

    Pretty common thing, but I don't get how this is significantly different than just browsing at a bookstore. Unless it's a hugely popular book/author, or you're actively googling everything that catches your eye, this gives approximately the same information that the title and cover blurb would.

    I think the problem they were finding is that it's actually very difficult to do this. Receipts aren't printed in ink - it's that the paper itself is heat sensitive and changes colour. That's why they fade so badly over time. Imagine how difficult it is to not only produce the rolls that can be heated on both sides, but the machinery that can 'print' on both sides, without discolouring the other side. And do it simultaneously, which is what the Sainsburys ones did. I reckon it cost them less to fit the old printers and receipt rolls back in than it did to maintain the two-sided system. Even if they had to re-buy the single-sided printers.

    Another vote for the self checkout. In the UK they ask if you want your receipt printed.... I'm usually like nope, it's a drinks nd a sandwhich for my lunch, don't need a receipt. In another shop I went to for the first time in ages, you had to scan your receipt to get out of the self checkout area! Like wtf! Won't be going back there (Sainsbury's, who also churn out a ton of vouchers everytime you checkout, despite my using their app, so it's all meant to be digital now

    I've seen these in the US for years. And yes, you always wonder if when they are done with a model if an employee snags it for their pet. When salesmen traveled they used to take miniatures. In the early 80s on a trip to Montana my then wife and I got a deal on some miniature furniture a furniture company's salesman used to take around in a truck. The shrunk down size was just right for our then small daughters. Got a cute tiny dresser and a little desk their size and something else. They felt all special having their own furniture.

    2 years ago Created by potrace 1.15, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2017

    I think what they're trying to say is that instead of discarding a whole box, just because there's a single broken egg in it, they re-box the unbroken ones. That's why there are two different kinds of egg in this box. It took me a while to figure that out, but it's the only way it makes any sense.

    Tip for you. When buying eggs, besides opening the carton and checking the top of the eggs, close the lid again and check the bottom of the box for signs of leakage from eggs that are cracked on the bottom.

    Charity Angel
    Community Member
    2 years ago Created by potrace 1.15, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2017

    And/or lift each egg out to check it. I always check the entire egg. And managed to break one on the way home, last time. I think I need to make a little, padded egg bag so I can't crack them when I'm transferring them to the boot. You'd think it should be fairly simple from a wheelchair trolley, but not having that extra height to lift actually makes it a lot harder. I think I must have caught the box on the side of the trolley.

    It's been a LONG time since I saw a brake on a trolley (late 90s?). And even then, it wouldn't lock on. They were pretty pointless, tbh

    Yeah... the issue with these has always been that you have no idea what you're actually planting, and something in there could be native to one area but invasive in another.

    In the US, every state has Extension Offices, usually one per county, which are supported by the state's university. They are an EXCELLENT resource for questions about native and invasive wildlife and plants, what to do with unwanted wildlife in your yard, etc. I start there before I select something to plant.

    Great idea, if done well and thought through. Not so great if it isn't. I started planting things in pots, to keep on my apartment balcony, but just in case of potential seed dispersal, I tried to focus on things that can be found in the area already, or stuff extremely close in genus and species, which also have the same niche, survival methods/protections, and so forth to try and avoid being someone who generates invasive species occurrences. Yes, I am aware that plants of the same species and even genus may vary GREATLY between sub-genus, which is why I check into niche, as well as the individual survival strategies of the plants to make sure that if it isn't the exact same plant, it is close enough in various aspects that it should not be capable of becoming an invasive species. I also try to make sure they encourage various species of bees.

    My hometown pet supply store has something similar - you can buy a bucket (which is marked as yours for the next time) and the kibble is stored in closed crates, where you take a scoop and fill the bucket with everything you want. Then you go to the weighing station and the price is determined by how much the filled bucket weighs. The station then prints a sticker for the cashier to scan. There is also food for birds, guineapigs and bunnies available :) The station is supervised constantly (if anyone is concerned) as it's right next to the registers. Also, this is a pretty small town :)

Its followers believe that theirs is the true faith, but are happy to let others live as they choose, co-existing with them in the hope that they'll realise that Islam is what they need. Not the aggressive and militant face that some Muslim groups seem to want to present.

    Generally speaking, so is my wife, so this makes me happy too. She likes to look nice, just like everyone else, and be comfy lounging around the house. A lot of fashion options seem to punish her for not fitting their 'ideal' size range.

    I see echinacea, and first hand allergy experience has taught me this stuff works VERY much like Flo-Nase, at least for myself. (Admittedly, you don't snort it like a nasal spray, it is a gel-cap thing you take in the morning, but same benefits / side effects otherwise)

I'm almost 50 and haven't had a flu since I was 10. In over 20 years I've had a cold 2 or 3 times. I grew up taking supplements and have studied on my own as well.

    We have this at the library. Put your pile of books on the check out machine and you instantly get an email with all the books you have on loan and their due date. For returning you have to put them one by one in a slot (accessible also from the outside 24/7). But then you can watch them traveling trough the conveyor belt system

    I prefer scanning my own shopping with my phone as I walk round the store. Started doing it during Covid to avoid touching stuff repeatedly and having to interact with staff (I am in an at-risk group). Now prefer it to having to unload all my shopping to have it scanned. Also get special offers only available at the self-checkouts. The only thing I miss is actually talking to the cashier.

    Always assuming the codes are correct. Not trying to be smart a*s but the business I work in uses these QR codes and I know it can be a challenge to get them right. Hopefully there's an opportunity to get a receipt and call for help if something is wrong. As this is Japan, they're probably correct.

    They're actually pretty good for determining if your boots support your ankles properly, or if there's a spot that, actually, rubs your foot horribly when you twist at an angle. Much better than just taking a few steps up and down the aisle to test.

    Maybe it's just the nurse in me... but the very first thought that came to mind when I saw this was "falls" ... shortly thereafter it became "drunk people and falls"... followed inevitably by the thought "I sure hope there aren’t bikes and skateboards in the immediate proximity"... 🤣

    I would never be worried about forgetting my dog... but I WOULD be worried about the fleas / worms / viruses the last dog left behind... and the potential - however unlikely - that someone could break in and steal him. My dog is like my kid; I would take on the world for that dog!

    In my neck of the woods, the difference between a 'jam' and a 'preserve' is not whether the fruit is whole or mashed, but the sugar content. Jam traditionally has a one to one fruit to sugar ratio, with preserves being 2:1. This means preserves do not last as long as jams.

    For those of us with more than one child, these were a godsend. Many of the shopping centres we went to even had a fenced play area, sometimes with interactive computer games or a tv to occupy the bigger kids while I tended to the babies. Oh my goodness - I felt SO LUCKY to be existing in that time and space! It was like a perfect little break for all of us in the middle of a busy shopping trip (actually, when I only had the one baby with me, and he had fallen asleep feeding, sometimes I could even sneak in a quick nap for myself). The person that invented these to draw more families to their shopping centers was a marketing genius.

    We switched to using Petco litter last year after we saw this refill station in our local Petco. Our litter costs have cut in half, we are able to reuse the containers so much less waste and struggle to fit the containers in the recycling, and the litter is one of the best one the market. 10/10 would recommend.

    Ok, that seems to be getting a little too niche for me. I like the idea of getting just how much you need when it comes to perishables, but I'd much rather just buy half a dozen standard sized bars of soap in a box.

    In Poland there is a requirement to put a lowest price from last 30 days on the tag next to a current price. This is to protect people from "Black Friday" type scams when shops wind up prices 3 days prior, just to make it lower (but still higher than regular) on black friday.

    This is a different type of machine. Milk taps usually have a closed, cooled compartment with a self closing door, the nozzle cannot be touched and no air is pumped into the milk. The nozzles of soft ice cream are not cooled, the nozzle can be touched and surrounding air is pumped in the ice cream to make it soft

    Our farmer provides them for free. You either bring back the old one and put a fresh one in the tap, or you reuse the old one/one of your own. He changed the type of bottles recently, so I stick with the old-fashioned I use since 5 years.

    In this case the point is the amount of milk and reducing waste. Many people do not need 1l or 1/2. The dairy farmers hete (NL coast) have taps (and honesty shops for eggs, vegs and fruit of the season). The raw milk there is the freshest one can get, but it has to be cooked/processed by the customer. Less convenient, better for the farmer's and customer's purse, less waste (reuse of bottles) and open 24h.

    Why? Just put the frozen/to be cooled products in a reusable padded insulation bag or crate and everything else in reusable other bags and crates. Yes, it is "inconvenient" to plan your shopping trip - but everything you are willing and capable of to drag back home, you can take with you TO the supermarket.

    I wonder if this is just because of legislation or whether they're had problems with people throwing stuff off (or jumping). I remember when the Myer Centre in Brisbane opened and it had a large open atrium that spanned 5 floors and at the top was a small indoor roller coaster and entertainment stuff. I saw more than one milk shake thrown from the top floor by a*****e teenagers.

    All these maps and guides are awesome, best I have is the Walmart app on my phone. As easy as this seems the stores here in the states don't do it because so much is geared towards impulse buying. That's why they have so many small items, magazines and candy and drinks crammed in to every side of the check out aisles.

    Some big box stores (looking at you Costco) intentionally move items around constantly on purpose because it encourages browsing, and therefore more impulse purchases, instead of being able to run in quick to get what you need. So this wouldn't work in a lot of places.

    We love the International aisle of Publix. Fun way for us in the Deep South to try new things, show the kids different selections than our " usual" products.

    Fun fact: Violet Crumble bars (the purple bars on the 5th shelf) are not only Australian, they’re the very first homegrown Australian chocolate bar. Named after the favourite colour and flower of its inventor’s wife. Another Aus delicacy - the Bertie Beetle - only exist because the original makers needed to do something with leftover Violet Crumbles during manufacture. #themoreyouknow

    almost all big supermarkets in Belgium have this, with many countries. Ages ago one had a small Dutch section that only had Peanut butter, Hagelslag and Cassis 😂

    Unfortunately you won't be able to find it if you're wearing your sunglasses indoors.

    NO! I will not have anything implanted in me so I can pay for groceries, and I will not provide enough information about me to make my palm a payment device. Didn't the Bible say something about this a couple thousand years ago?

    NO!!! NO!!! NO!!! This is dangerous. Reminds me of what Revelations in the Bible says about accepting the Mark of the Beast. Those who do can never enter heaven.

    I'm less worried about plastic garbage and wondering why you'd want a single glass of merlot. Side note: It's pretty cheap. $3.70 Australian for a glass of merlot is ok, unless it's a crappy one. And you'd want to drink it quick. Can't imagine it'd keep for long like that.

    The problem with this is that the majority of people are like my grandmother. Just ignore the signs and sample at will. I used to get embarrassed going shopping with her because she would munch on grapes, bananas, and/or apples WHILE she was gathering her groceries. Cashiers do not have the ability to guess how much of the fruit (or veg) she had eaten when presented with an empty peel or denuded bunch of grapes. I was still a child at the time. When I became an adult and was working in grocery stores, I would just about lose my mind.

    Embarrassed by my very adult SIL while buying candies. She put a bunch in the bag for the cashier to weigh but kept eating them while in line. She just hadn't realized, when I told her she snapped that she was going to pay... not dishonest, she really is stupid

    What about single or asexual people? Are we supposed to grab a stranger to pose as our partners to meet the criteria?
