In Scotland having red hair and NOT having blue eyes is uncommon. Especially in the Highlands.

It's because of the incest.

The red hair, that is. Ginger is a recessive gene that is a marker of incest in your family history. Clans didn't tend to mix much.

You'll find most places with lots of ginger people had smallish tribes that disliked outsiders most of the time.

Signs would be impossible (or at least unnecessarily difficult) to keep accurate.

8 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

They also have limited floor space to fit everything, which leads to merchandise being constantly relocated to opposite ends of the store.

8 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

That’s not the real reason there aren’t signs. Costco, being a wholesaler, has very few (if any) permanent items on the shelves.

8 years ago | Likes 50 Dislikes 0

Yeah, stuff moves a lot

Yes, but they could at least put signs up for things like, 'kitchen supplies', 'pantry items', 'small appliances', 'office supplies'

Worked at Costco for 8 years. We purposely make the necessities more of a trip so impulse shopping can take effect.
