Why are they there ?

OK, I kind of have an idea of where things are in a grocery store but I had a real shocker a few days ago. I was looking for those reusable disposable plastic containers that Glads and Ziploc make. You know small to medium containers for leftovers and stuff. Well I started with the plastics bags and other things made by Glad and Ziploc. Next to the aluminum foil and plastic wrap.

Nope, not there. Could be near the dishes and kitchen gadgets. Nope. Hummm ...

Find helpful (or not) store employee. "Hey where are the Glad bowls ?" Aisle 10 (dishes and kitchen gadgets) or aisle 14 (trash bags and other small plastic bags etc)

OK I am a guy and have "Boy eyes". You know the ones that can't see the socks in the drawer but they appear on my wife saying "There in the drawer that you just looked in". So I truck back over to aisle 10 and 14. Nope still not there.

I check out the pet food aisle and a couple of other places they shouldn't gave been and lo and behold they ain't there either.

Now I just pissed off that the store doesn't have them or has hidden them to the point that I can't find then and I am just about ready to leave. I find one more employee to take a guess a this and she in 0.02 seconds says "Aisle 12".

OK one last shot before I leave in a huff.

I start down the aisle and I go by pasta and sauce and egg noodles and BAM there they are smack dab in the middle of the row top to bottom and next to the tuna helper and other "Dinner Starters"

Of course I had not passed though here since I got in the store. I just would have looked next to spaghetti and tuna helper.

OK somebody tell me why in the world those are marketed there ?
