Interisting new grocery store concept

[OrlandoMike]

We got a new grocery store near us so I decided to give it a try today.

Something very odd happened, actually pretty cool!

I got to the frozen food aisle and all of the lights in the coolers were off. Hmmm As I walked down the aisle sensors detected my presence and the lights came on!

Pretty cool way of saving energy!

And before you ask, yes I did walk down the aisle more than once for fun!

Several Publix and Super Wal Marts that I go to have that feature. I think you aren't the only one that has done that.

Sounds like a great idea.

But I wonder: As a migraine sufferer blinking lights cause me great stress...If the store were crowded would the lights go mad?

The Publix closest to us has that in their frozen food section too. :yes:

They don't blink or "flash" Rosie. They come on (like an outdoor light on a sensor). Does that make sense?

My gawd, I believe I'd run back out to the car 'n grab my boa for that.

Can you direct me to the Gino's frozen pizza rolls?

Yes, thanks. I just thought if a lot of people passed it would go on and off...but I guess it would stay on for awhile when it sensed a lot of motion.

Yes Rosie, that seems to be the way they work. :yes:

However, thanks to this thread, I won't be able to walk down the frozen food aisle again without a private giggle! LOL

Private giggle, or a nice fan kick?
