Oddly, they have set-up, at the headquarters complex a fully stocked
demo-store where they try out parts placement before they issue a new
plan-o-gram to all 7K+ stores. And the occasional faux-pas still gets
published. And is corrected later.

The other day my store manager asked me "Do you know where (item) is?"

To which I repled, "I know nwhere it was two plan-o-grams ago."

To their positive side - the newly introduce touch-screen POS terminals
work well and have folded seamlessly into the operations.
