Great all round travel service

I was in John Lewis selecting a suitcase for my forthcoming holiday. I had good service and advice from the sales person who also asked where I was going to. Having found out it was Japan they reminded me that a small amount of cash will be needed for the transit systems etc. They pointed out that I could collect it from the first floor Bureau de Change. I went there and found more helpful staff and bought my Yen. Great service all round from JL staff. One question remains - why is the store layout such that the travel agent, travel needs (suitcases, sun creams, power adaptors and perhaps swimwear etc) and foreign currency are not next to each other?
