Why should anyone have a phobia about that? Millions of people shop in Tesco and Asda precisely because they think goods are cheaper there than in other places.

Is that why other supermarkets do the same?

I know, but the remark was in response to Mr Hall who is somewhat renowned for not patronising the cheapy shops.

Have you not noticed the difference in the customers between Sainsbury/Tesco and ASDA? And then even more so Lidl, etc?
Doesn't bother me since I'm probably a chav at heart, but I can see it bothering some others.
The message from "Mary Fisher" contains these words:
Apparently it was a particular feature of Kwik Save - even in buildings where there was no reason to paint out the windows they did. Many other places have the windows obscured but that's usually because it's not attractive to look at the backs of shelves.
I suspect that product shelving is far more important than who can see who's shopping.

Sorry, I don't see his posts :-) ISTR though that he's always banging on about the cost of things, trying to save money on one hand and make more from customers on the other ...

New glasses needed?
It's called business......
It's far better to provide customers with good products and services in exchange for fair payment in order to be able to do that, than to provide poor products and no service because the price is the fundamental issue. The first is a sustainable model, the second is not for either supplier or customer.

I notice Lidl is selling remote control mains socket thingies for a tenner soon. Same things are selling on eBay for in some cases £23. I'm tempted to buy a heap and flog 'em on ebay.

Possibly, but the ex board member from Kwik Save interviewed on R4 some years ago said it was so people could shop there and not be embarassed by neighbours seeing them.
Ah well, it must be true if it you heard it on the BBC :-)

I'd say window dressing is an expensive and unnecessary thing for a supermarket. So why have conventional shop windows?
Sliced bread
Ever walked around a French supermarket and looked at the presentation of fresh vegetables and fish?
The message from "Mary Fisher" contains these words:
There is one god and Reith is his name.
But are they in the window?
And bloody John Humphrys the prophet.
Oh no.... Superb displays in prime positions inside.
Window displays are for smaller shops, I feel, but this does not mean supermarkets have an excuse to do poor displays of poor products stacked in boxes. That's the place of Costco and the like.
Speaking of which, what did ducks eat before bread was invented?
