The bins run the full length of the back wall, sorted loosely by kind rather than alphabetically, because nobody browses candy alphabetically. Chocolate on the left, chewy in the middle, sour and hard candy on the right, penny candy along the bottom row where kids can reach it.
Take a bag from the stack at the end of the wall, use the metal scoops chained to each bin, and do not switch scoops between bins - it keeps the peanut ones out of the peanut-free row.
Bins get restocked from the back every morning before opening, so what is heavy at nine is not always what is heavy by closing. Regulars know to come early for the saltwater taffy.
