I didn't read the article but I believe milk, bread and eggs are always on the back so you can shop a bunch of items you don't need on the way to find them.

I didnt read the article either but pavy is dead on. Its located in the back because on the way there you have to go throw all the shit food thus the human impulse is to buy a bag of chips or pick up something they might not otherwise need. I worked as a cashier for a couple years and you wouldnt believe the amount of people that came to my line and bitched when they said they were only coming in for milk and ended up buying a whole cart full of useless shit.

You just have to know how to shop and have some discipline.
