By their own choice, often.

The  stores, bookstores included, go   out of their   way  to make  both
impulse buying and  shoplifting easy   by  piling things  in the aisles,
putting displays everywhere, etc.  I've been in many stores where  I had
to walk sideways or push the  merchandise aside  to  get down the aisle.
An overly obnoxious guard could easily think I was stealing then.
