They've also started to spread out their "free from" range.

If they move the gluten free bread to the bread rack (where it was for a while) I will be complaining vociferously.

Yup. I'd noticed that. If I couldn't find certain organic products where I expected them to be, the next stop used to be the "free from" shelves. It worked for organic flours.

At the same time, there are wholefood promotions on the ends (i.e. high visibility, we want this stuff to sell) of a couple of aisles.

I'm confused :-(

I think confused is the way they want you. It's all a conspiracy I tell you!

Actually, they do move things around quite irrationally and they do so entirely deliberately for the sole purpose of inconveniencing their customers. The reasoning is that the inconvenience forces shoppers NOT to do what you admitted is your normal pattern - and thus makes us explore parts of the store we'd never usually visit. They hope that in doing so we'll succumb to the temptation of products we're unfamiliar with (read "have no real use for") and give them even more of our money.

Failed conspiracy, since I'm lucky enough to be able to shop elsewhere if Tesco is sufficiently annyoing. Except for milk... have I ever mentioned I wanted a goat?
