But if you read further down, the use of blue exterior paint also causes people to wait until they are paying for their products to produce a coupon by an average of 33.8%

Blue doesn't work with beige, for me. A darker brown, maybe even purple, would look better. I don't know how either would affect wait time though.
i second that. it looks like a really fat IT manager doing a handstand

What is it with that god forsaken location. The supermarket that was there before Rite Aid was an overpriced dump... a nightmare of rotting produce, dirty fixtures and snarly employees. And Rite Aid is an overpriced disaster of endless waits to find a non existent employee to unlock the razor blades, interminable lines, and prices that are at least 15% more expensive than Duane Reed and with an inferior selection of merchandise. Also, the employees practically slap you for trying to buy something...

More exciting news to report from the World of Rite Aid on First Avenue and East Fifth Street... first, they cleaned up the inside and ditched the carpet...
Now, workers are painting the exterior, as the headline likely tipped you off... Goggla shared this from yesterday afternoon...

This is great news. According to the Journal of Retail Paint, blue exteriors make the checkout lines move faster by 21.33%

I believe purple makes lines longer but with the adverse effect of reduced coupon usage, so the net impact is negligible.
