Most supermarket customers do not use shopping lists, but know what they intend to buy when they enter the store, and also where to find it. What the supermarket manager wants, however, is for them to buy things they didnt know they needed. One successful way of achieving this is to change the positions of items from time to time, moving slower-selling products to places where shoppers expect to find the basic things they want. Which one of these sentences best summarises what you have read?

Which one of these sentences best summarises what you have read?

Supermarkets sell more by moving the position of goods. Some items in supermarkets sell more slowly than other. Shopping lists are often not needed in supermarkets.
