Another reason for me not to shop at IKEA.  (The other is what
appears from their ads to be schlock, or perhaps just plain
unattractive, furniture.)

But as for the standard merchandising ploy of moving things around,
Trader Joe's too seems egregious -- I have not noticed nearly the
same frequency at Shaw's, Stop and Shop, or Whole Foods.
