Badly, I'm automatically against any change. Though it depends how much I'm affected by that change.
Yes I'm fully aware that some changes can be good. I'm still against those on the principle that all change is bad, but i will suck it up for the first few weeks to months until it takes me to get used to it and push through if the change has some overall positive effect.
So i don't like change at all. It's rather stressful, but i can push through it if necessary. Just don't expect me to be in a good mood or get any positive feedback on it for few weeks to months.
Though, screw grocery store rearrangement. There's no forgiveness for that one.
