- HWR_14 5y agoMy point is that extra space to move (wide aisles that can handle multiple carts across or space around an in store display or other empty space) is much cheaper in the US, so you can just afford it. But the cost of devoting 100's of sq ft of space to mannequins on pedestals might not fly in a Japan (Walmart equivalent)
