Imagine if all commercial shipments were made during peak foot traffic and weren't given access in the back

This exact scenario happens at my local Starbucks. The little strip mall it's in is set so far back on the property that there is no room for a delivery vehicle behind the building. So they get all their deliveries through the front door, and it usually seems to happen just at the end of lunch hour (the worst time, as people are getting their after-lunch coffee).
