These product categories represent ordinary consumer goods, whereby regular purchases are likely to provoke different decision modes, including intuition, when people seek to minimize their time investment in shopping. We used pictures of real assortments to provide a realistic experience and undertook this activity in convenient places for the respondents. This was done as a result of the difficulties associated with questioning consumers in real purchase contexts. Few people, pressed to finishtheirshopping,wanttodevotetimetoasurvey.Moreover, the actual purchase context makes it difficult for consumers to answer without distraction (e.g. noise, crowds and children). Thus, we exposed each respondent to three pictures of product assortments offered by a supermarket corresponding in size to stores in the Carrefour Group (Appendix 2). The three pictures correspond to identical variety levels and to the same type of outlet. People were placed in a buying situation, and asked to choose their product within each product assortment as if they were really shopping and then respond to a questionnaire.
