      The perfume/cosmetics section of a department store (Macy’s, J.C. Penny, etc.) Typically located near shopping mall gallery entrances to force people to walk past it to get elsewhere in the store.

      It’s less common to see stores intentionally laid out this way these days, I think.

        What’s so bad about it? I don’t mind them.

          It’s basically forced advertising meant to get you to buy. These practices also eat away at the shared transit spaces.

            Yeah, but it’s 25% cheaper than a hypothetical store that sells it at 328% the price of my local supermarket.

              Have you heard about the concept of hostile architecture? This is the same concept but applied at trying to get you to buy

              Like water. Because they stole what water you brought when you went through security. Damned thieving airports. Give me back my water. It’s not a bomb. I promise.

          The feeling of not being able to breath properly when I inhale there is pretty unpleasant imo.
