All major supermarkets use this trick and so many more to make you shop shop shop. Wha? Every major supermarket I've seen uses aisles, and doesn't use huge partitions just to block the view of the rest of the store.

I resent the layout of Ikeas every time I'm in one. It is such a transparent attempt to herd its customers like cattle. I'm here to pick a couple of umlats, goddamit, not take a grand tour of the lerts and fodon sets.
