I mean, they're only placing stuff to make it more attractive after all. It's not like they are putting stuff into your cart/basket without your knowledge and forcing you to buy it later. While it is true that the store is trying to get you to buy more by trickery, it is after all up to one to exercise self-control. For example, when you see someone leave that shiny new, expensive electronic toy unattended on their desk - do you just steal it from them? No, because you use your self-control and do the right thing. I agree with most of the points listed here, except that I feel that the post is a little hard on the stores.
