Hell, we visited a shop that opened about a month ago, where we discovered that the concrete ramp to get in was quite short and steep, causing one hell of a bump. And the aisles we literally only just wide enough to get the chair down.
The Range chain of stores here in the UK is pretty much a no-go at christmas because they pack the aisles so much with extra points of sale and boxes of shit that it's a hugely stressful experience trying to navigate.
And this is with actual laws in place!
So yeah, you have my empathy and solidarity.
