"SALE"
         
The interior of a supermarket is designed so that customers get what they want and so that the supermarket makes money. For example, the space in the market is organized, so that customers need to walk around the entire store in order to find everything they want. As a result, customers often buy extra things. They see a nice arrangement of colorful, eye-catching products, and they take one item. They see a sign that says "SALE" and they take two or three items. In other words, customers buy things they see as they are walking around the store. Furthermore, many "last-minute" items are waiting for you at the checkstands: candy, gum, magazines and razor blades.
As a result of this carefully-designed organization of interior space, the supermarket makes more money. You, the customer, go home happily, with full shopping bags and an empty wallet.
