I'm wrong about the sensor, fair point. Though low-level access to its data will presumably need to be available through the device API. But anyway... Stores

I'm wrong about the sensor, fair point. Though low-level access to its data will presumably need to be available through the device API. But anyway... Stores actually put a lot of effort into spreading the essentials around, and making you walk as far as possible to find things. It's in their interests that you are lost and browsing all the other stuff that you could be buying, instead of just grabbing that milk and going.

It's in their interest that you walk past things you might need to trigger spontaneous purchases, I agree. But it's not so clear to me that they really want you wandering and frustrated. Note that most stores label aisles clearly, keep things in the same place for long periods, and often provide ways to find things yourself (staff, phones, mobile apps, paper maps).
