The Video Store.

In the past, our video store had their videos arranged alphabetically. And on the outside of the video case, it was labeled as to the genre. But, that became too complicated for those folks who had to shelve the returned videos. So, they started just shelving the videos based only on the first letter of the title. This made thing much simpler. The “A” movies go on the “A” shelves, the “B” movies go on the”B” shelves, etc.

Now, they have stared shelving the movies based on the genre and then alphabetical. This makes renting a movie a little more complicated if you are looking for a specific title.

“Beaches” for most people would be considered to be a drama but it is often categorized as a comedy. “Ben Hur” is considered to be an action movie yet it is classified as a drama. So, if you are looking for a movie, you can’t tell if it is not available or if you are looking in the wrong section.

This too shall pass.
