I hate how supermarkets

put the heating on in autumn and winter. They ramp it to full. And I start sweating like a hog lol.

They could set it to low.

A lot of the stores here seem to have all or nothing heating. I dress in layers so I can shed clothing if I have to.

The dollar store I work at is always either hot or cold.

In Florida I sometimes regret wearing shorts into the freezer section.

Maybe they know people will buy more if they are subconsciously uncomfortable, during certain times of the year.

If it isn’t illegal, and there is money to be made, you know they’ll do it without a second thought.


Or it could be more efficient for larger buildings to go for the extremes, instead of moderating a large airspace with micromanagement.

Psychologists design supermarkets in a way that will make the store the most money. Have you ever noticed that produce and dairy (milk) are very far away from each other? The healthiest food is usually along the perimeter (walls) of the store.

As for temperature, they like to keep the store cool (they do this in casinos too) so that people stay alert and energetic.
