Feminine Touch at Home Depot
Saw this on the news... went looking for information online but information I found and read are not related to the news I saw last night.
Home Depot is talking about modifying its interior structure to appeal female customers. They are talking about lowering the shelves, adding brighter lights and widening the aisles.
I wouldn't have mentioned this if widening the aisles wasn't mentioned. Is it about women's hips or how women, despite their size, psychologically need more space? There are men with bigger shoulders than women's hips or men who prefer a lot of space, too. I wonder why or how differences in interior structure could affect genders?

really? I don't think so... think of it, a lot of women out there are PINK, KWIM? honestly, this is a good way to encourage women to make their own things, to build their own things... let's say, it's more of breaking the glass ceiling through using a pink path, instead of yellow.

heh, pink path :)
actually, what does widening the aisles have to do with feminine needs? Lowering the shelves are understandable, brighter lights are appealing for sure...
Home depot aisles are already wide enough.. wider than the ones in walmart or michael's crafts.

Either they didn't explain or I missed the part if they did explain. That's why I went online for more information. I just saw the statement and the interview about it.
I found this link but it's old... and didn't mention the aisles. http://www.keepmedia.com/pubs/
