You really did not make any sense. But I'll help you out. If you need to enter an aisle for shopping but are at the wrong entrance, you must go to an adjacent aisle which increases the distance you have to walk and thus on average will expose you to more shoppers. Plus you have increased the number of times to pass through intersections which are usually clogged with people. This in turn makes the connecting aisles more congested. Pretty simple isn't it?
So the net effect cumulatively is that it will increase the total distance walked by all the shoppers. Increased distance walked , more time spent in store, increased customer density on average, more exposure to other customers.
If you want a policy to minimize risk, it would be something like this:,
Avoid entering congested aisles. Please come back later or find a less congested path too find your product. Not recommending it but it would be less illogical than rigidly following one way rules.
