What This Means for Chicago Retail Stores
Retail queues cluster at service counters (returns, pickups, fittings) rather than checkout lines. A zero no-show rate across 322 entries tells us that retail customers waiting for a specific service (warranty claim, size check) almost always show up when called — they're already in-store.
