Hey Retail Slaves! I'm Freddy, Crypt Keeper of RHU! Retail Hell Underground Blog is for anyone slaving away in a service related position who wants to rant, tell their story, blow off steam, or just have a chuckle about the insanity of working in the 10th Circle of Hell! I'm also the author of Retail Hell, the funny memoir about life as a handbag sales associate at an upscale department store!
It could be both.

I'm going for both. If you haven't figured out where babies come from to the point that you get pregnant, maybe a little "in your face" is good. You definitely don't want to make the same mistake.
On the other hand, if you KNOW where they come from and are picking up diapers because you ran out and the kid is screaming, then its a fail. You didn't plan ahead and keep a few cloth diapers around "just in case".
You might want to think about ever having a kid again if you can't keep the basic necessities on hand.
Speaking as the mother of 3 (all planned), you HAVE to make sure you always have back-up.

My store has condoms, lubes, pregnancy tests right across the aisle from the diapers.
My old store had them in a different aisle, but somebody put up a sign saying "Don't forget the condoms, otherwise you'll end up shopping aisle 15", aisle 15 was the baby aisle.

Totally a WIN! It can be easy when people are looking at the diapers and see the price to see the much cheaper price of condoms and remember, "oh yeah, if I don't want to have MORE babies...."

I'd say win. If someone's rushing out to the store late at night because they're out of diapers for the screaming baby waiting with their SO at home, that might be good motivation to stock up on condoms while they're at it.

I had to LOL at this. I call it a win. :)
@Drug Store Diva: Yeah, my Hellgreens aisle is set-up like that too. It seems to say "These will help you not get pregnant! But in case you do....."

WIN. Total win.

A win because it is either dirty diapers or condom time!
