No thanks. Get your stuff, minimize the amount of time inside the store, then get out.
That is not how I read what OBB said. OBB said that being able to pass people in the one way aisle is the safer way to go than having two way aisles. With a two way aisle, passing anyone will bring you closer to a shopper who is coming in the opposite direction that you are traveling. It really does make sense to have one way aisles to prevent folks from getting too close when passing a shopper who is reading labels or just pondering their purchase.
