Since I can remember the already cooked (don’t buy this shit) bacon would be in the produce section at almost every grocery store I’ve been to

Great. Now I'm going to crave BLT until I make myself one.

The should have arranged the bacon in between tomatoes and lettuce.

One time I saw Betty Crocker icing in the toothpaste section, but only because I put it there.

Dsmn. That's Hella cheap avocados! It's almost 8 bucks for a similar bag over here.

Lettuce instead of avocados or cucumbers would have made sense.

As a retail person, I might suggest you won't be needing to visit the toothpaste section when the poor stocksperson finally snaps and bludgeons your face with that Betty Crocker icing.

I've never seen bacon in a cardboard box. Is that pre-cooked or something?

I live in Maryland, so any sandwich with all of those is likely a BALTO: Bacon, Avocado, Lettuce, Tomato, & Old Bay ... hon.

Ok, I get what they're doing here, but coming from food service I feel like this arrangement doesn't take into consideration the cultures that might be hesitant to purchase produce displayed on the same surface as pork (ie Halal).

Maybe I'm being overly considerate since the bacon is packaged separately, but it still always makes me uneasy to see meat on the same surface as veg, especially pork, regardless of whether it's precooked or not

Most likely I'm just being unnecessarily sensitive about something I don't fully understand. But I guess that's what makes me an American.

It is indeed. It's shelf stable until the plastic bag the bacon is in is opened. You can heat a couple of strips up for a few seconds in the microwave and you have instant bacon.

Wait umm do Bacon from Canada not need refrigeration or something?

Replying to Captain_Blacktoes (#701,068)

It's probably fine since it's sealed separately, but packs can bust open or leak on the shelf, or customers will open packs and leave them on the shelf. In the retail environments I've worked in, there are plexiglass or plastic dividers between different animal/plant products to prevent broken packs from being a problem.

Ey you've got the right amount of concern for all of our friends, and understanding that it may seem overboard.

There's a Jewish university nearby, and when a friend there brought me to the cafeteria for the first time, they told me the importance of the colored trays and utensils, and to put them in their respective collection bins. Halal and Kosher are very clear about contamination in a way that many people are not aware of or used to thinking about. Good awareness on ya for sharing that perspective~

I doubt it unless the customer is super strict and sensitive about these issues - in which case there are plenty of ethnic groceries stores that cater to their needs. In fact here in Ontario some of these ethnic community supermarkets are actually owned by the mainstream chains.

I know what you mean, I don't trust pre-cooked bacon either. I know smoking and drying and jerky is a thing, but the best parts of what make bacon good come from cooking them in person.

You're usually supposed to heat it up before you eat it, usually in the microwave, but a skillet would do too.

They're are also fine to eat cold though, and it's a guilty pleasure of mine.

It’s lousy eaten as is. However if you pan fry it enough to be crispy it’s okay. That’s kind of counter productive but still quicker and a lot less greasy than cooking from raw.

That’s a good merchandizing idea, but it’s not recommended to refrigerate tomatoes, and lettuce doesn’t last out of refrigeration, so this configuration is probably the best bet

They should also replace the poison round things with a selection of fine cheeses and more bacons. Produce kills more people per annum than smoking, sloth attacks and rickshaw accidents combined.

Basically the grocery stores started arranging shit like this for people to get their groceries based on their habits. It's called "lifestyle shopping" or something like that. It's supposed to be more modern and personalized but in practice it turns into a seemingly random mess.

It's because of stupid Trader Joes and Whole Foods and how they arrange stuff. Now every normal grocery store does it and it's fucking frustrating. They will literally separate everything so you find 1 brand of something on one end of the store but have to look all over for where they put another similar brand or type because it's been put on the shelf with other items that their data tells them are bought together.

Just like how your YouTube or Netflix algorithm is often pretty wrong about suggesting what you actually want to watch, leading to you having to dig through bad recommendations, whatever metrics the stores use lead to some really stupid and random things being put together. One store near me had olive oil in 4 different sections, all different types, some with the cheese, some in the bread aisle, some near produce and lastly some in the FUCKING COOKING OIL SECTION WHERE OLIVE OIL GOES.

A person looking for that type of bacon is going to look in the fucking bacon section and not fucking see it and assume they don't have it because they aren't buying produce that day and aren't going to notice this stupid "convenient" display.

Great for making a quick BLT. Hit three or four slices between paper towels in the microwave for 30 to 35 seconds depending upon how crispy you like it. I am not ever have been a spokesperson for big bacon

Before it was ever sold in grocery stores, in about 2003... I bought a pack of 100 slices of precooked bacon from Omaha Steaks to take to a beach vacation week with the family.

It was very popular for beach breakfasts and BLTs.
