How Supermarkets Hook Us

Or at least try to. Tonight, CNBC will air "Supermarkets Inc.," a show addressing the psychology of supermarket design and how it affects our shopping patterns. In a quick clip shown on this morning's Today Show, I thought I saw the expanded section of the Pearl Street Whole Foods store (wouldn't be surprising). There was some filming going on when I was there last Saturday, so maybe we'll get some insight on national tv as to why we have to pass so many delicious temptations in our local store just to pick up that quart of milk.
