This is all why I have my groceries delivered. I find it online, order it, and POOFTER! It's at my house.
I would be there right now.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yes, but then you never know what grocery store department they came from.

What happens when the deliveries department is out? They just grab the plastic lemons and limes from the liquor, baking or kitchen cleaning departments.

I live next to a grocery store, though I prefer to shop at the one a mile away instead. I will never have groceries delivered because the shame of the lameness would be too great. Unless I've broken both legs. Then there would be no shame. And I'm going to stop there before I do some really bad not-quite-punning.
There are stores I've quit going to because of the way they are arranged.

Recently I've had to deal with grocery stores that were rearranging aisles on a weekly basis, or so it seemed. Damnit, is it too much to ask to have the bread in the same row every week?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I think lime juice tends to go next to fruit juices because it's often used as a mixer with alcohol. Whereas lemon juice is really used only for cooking and baking. As more stores come to reflect Latin American cooking, where the lime is the cooking juice, I think the lime juice will be more consistently located in cooking places rather than mixer places.
(I tend to just use lemons or limes, especially after I realized that one store in town sells them for $0.33 each, even in winter.)
I just read the Times cooking section on perfect pie crusts, and am wondering, "Where in the world would I find a real live butcher?" Because when the writer says he asked his butcher for beef suet, I am pretty sure he did not just walk up to the counter at Stop & Shop, you know? Maybe at Whole Foods, I suppose.
(Suddenly I am fantasizing about a goose for Thanksgiving dinner, and a pie crust made from the still-warm goose fat. That might be more coordination than is actually possible in a household.)
