Most Common Grocery Section

Have you ever walked into a grocery store and wondered why some items were placed in different sections? Maybe you saw one area with just about everything and then went to the following department, only to find that nothing was available there. The reason for this can be found in a straightforward example. If food is stored in a specific section, then items will be found in that section. So, if you go from area to section in a department store, you might see canned foods, or fruits and vegetables, and other items that you usually wouldn't find in the produce section.
