So you would agree with me then (this situation being as reliable a predictor as you state) that Shoppers really should have factored that predictor into the design of this new store on Concession and gone with either one entrance, or two entrances feeding traffic into a common area in close proximity to the checkout clerks. Since the second option has been done successfully at several of their other new locations (constructed prior to this one), someone must have seriously dropped the ball when designing this location. Hopefully the folly won't be repeated at the Centre Mall site.
