Phones 4U turn the tables on shop window security

Did you read my post from last Monday about Phones 4U’s shockingly bad store layout that showed their customer’s details to passers-by? Well, Phones 4U must have because by Thursday last week they had shuffled their point of sale tables around to give their customers a much safer experience. The sales monitors do still face into the store but that’s a much easier place to spot nosy loiterers!

In fact, it took me longer to get my act together to take some photos of the new layout than it did for the Phones 4U staff to fix their issue. Well done 🙂

It can’t just be me that sees these things, can it? Have you noticed any silly lack of planning on at your local phone retailer?
