Customers think eggs keep moving location - been in the same place for 15 years

Work p/t for a supermarket for 19 years now. Most days we get customers say ‘I wish you stop moving the eggs’. The eggs have been in the same place for 15 years. I’m not the only colleague that hears this. We do say they have been there for 15 years. A colleague got married in the two weeks that the store was closed for the refit and that was when eggs moved and stayed.

I wish customers would stop falsely accusing that the eggs keep moving.

I can never find the eggs in shops I’m not familiar with. I suppose they don’t really ‘belong’ with anything else so are sometimes in random places.

I'd have thought they'd have gone off after 15 years

It’s a customer conspiracy theory that we move things such as eggs to make them walk up and down every aisle and spend more money 😂

Could it be a supermarket chain? The other branches have their eggs in different locations?

Does it really matter though?
