You must not have anyone else putting in and taking out of your
freezer. DH usually just puts what ever he has in his hands in the
closest spot to where he is standing. We have both a chest and an
upright and it is the same for both.

When we first got the chest freezer I had the foods sorted and knew
which section had what I was looking for. Now I keep gloves so that I
can go through the stuff to find what I am looking for.
