I also need items easily reached, a local small grocery store carries good quilt magazines but keeps them on a bottom shelf, I can't bend over enough to reach them. I did suggest that since many of quilt magazine customers are older women that they move them up to a higher shelf (where they have the teen magazines) but they never did.
A great private book store near my daughter's home stocked their quilt books up so high that I need a ladder to reach them. I did suggest that they move them down a little but they probably won't, I don't think they sell many.
