   The other way would be to fill the lower shelves with fake / toy groceries   
   for kids to put in their trolley (although someone still needs to put them   
   back), but that would take away "valuable shelf space" for real products   
   ... and of course it would mean the real chocolate bars, etc. are out of   
   the kids' eyeline.
