I was doing some research yesterday (or that was my excuse).

I found MVC to be cooler than the other shops I 'surveyed'.

My daughter is a shop manager in Leamington Spa - she makes sure her
air conditioning is turned down to 18 C. It's surprising how much
difference that can make to trade.

Sainsbury's in Cannon Street is positively arctic, with all the chiller
cabinets for the vast array of microwave meals and sandwiches. Might pop
there later as our office's air conditioning broke down over the weekend.
Struth....

It still amazes me how shops in the UK have their air/con on full blast and
yet, still have all the shop doors wide open. If you did that in California
you would get a right mouthful from the energy conservation groups.

In the case of my daughter's shop, it is company policy to have the
doors open at all times- apparently people are much more likely to
come in if they're open.

Tesco's was also very cool as well - the trouble is, once you leave the
store, it feels twice as hot outside as it did before!

AIUI the leftists/environmentalists are a good part of the reason why
California is nearly bankrupt - preventing use of more efficient fuels
etc.
