The meaning of the word "snake" in this context

Hi everyone.

I'm wondering what the meaning of the word "snake" in this context is. Any input would be highly appreciated.


"Are the principles of horizontal merchandising applied correctly here? (Picture for context: )(If you answer "No", you get the following explanation.)

Indeed! In this example, the products are arranged from largest to smallest and that is wrong. The correct way is from smallest to largest from top to bottom, or from left to right. In this case, the SNAKE starts with an add-on and that is the correct place for this product."

Apparently, the type of checkout line (queue) that winds around and folds back on itself is called a snake queue. You see them at amusement parks and passport control, too. In stores, they put items for sale on shelves along the queue.
