The High Cost of Peak-Hour Problems: Shoppers Are Walking Away From $113 Purchases

Original consumer research conducted for the Logile 2026 Peak Hour Penalty Report confirmed that more than 3 in 4 shoppers (78%) have left a store empty-handed because of rush-related problems, with the average abandoned shopping trip worth $113 among those who recall their planned spending.

 

In a survey of 750 U.S. consumers, Logile found that:

  • 74% say understaffing during predictable busy periods is a planning failure, not bad luck
  • 55% have cut back on visits or stopped treating a store as their regular store after repeated bad experiences
  • 64% say having more checkout lanes open would improve their experience during peak hours
