Intruder Alert!

This is one of the main reasons for all of the product displays at the checkout aisles of retail stores. While a consumer is patiently (or otherwise) waiting to be rung up at the grocery store, he or she has an opportunity to peruse the shelves packed with last minute items, like packages of bubble gum and candy. Now, however, with self-checkout lanes, consumers are more concerned with trying to make a speedy get-a-way with their bags of groceries than looking around at the different impulse-buy choices.
