12ft (3.6 meters) of a single laundry soap nor a full shelf of one type of ketchup.
This allows them to have smaller back rooms, fewer warehouse deliveries, and to restock only once a day.
- bluGill 5y agoRight, but where real estate costs are high compared to labor costs you will restock more than once a day to save on real estate. Where labor is high compared to real estate you use less labor. Note that compared is key above. Real estate and labor are both more expensive in dense cities, but comparatively real estate is more important to optimize and so you pay the higher labor. Even though labor is cheaper in suburbs you sill optimize that because real estate is so much cheaper.
