Pay less at the grocery store with one simple trick.

~ SA Otey

It’s subtle, but stores that offer smaller carts usually have higher prices. Warehouse stores that offer large carts serve a purpose for bulk loading. When you enter a store and see that the little cart is the only option then walk away.

Smaller carts are easier to push but you can’t put as much in them, so the store will jack up their prices so that you can’t carry too many of their items to your home. I’ve noticed these carts at Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, Harris Teeter, and now PetSmart.

Why not have all your groceries delivered?

Developers simply need to be able to read the minds of their users and develop software in anticipation of the unspoken needs. One of my favorite responses from an end user is when they say “Well, it’s not working the way I thought it would”. Well, maybe next time, why don’t you tell me how you want it to work and it will be much easier for both of us.

It really doesn’t matter how well you build or anticipate the needs of the end user. You can make it as bulletproof as you want but within the first few minutes of going live, there will be a catastrophic event that will bring the entire process to a screeching halt. Well, from the user’s perspective anyway.
