To Fill or Not to Fill

A comment from a customer recently has made me question whether my "efficient" shelf filling is such a good idea. We fill the shelves daily (sometimes more often if I get a chance to go to the stock room). But apparently, it makes it look as though nothing moves! Particularly with really popular lines that I always have a stockpile of. To a customer these never appear to run low. I tried to be more relaxed with my shelf filling, but find gaps on the shelves unappealing. Not sure what the solution is. I would just like to reassure you there is nothing on the shelves that was there when we opened. That jar of honey you saw last year has gone, and a hundred or so very similar looking jars have in turn taken its place.
