Wall-Block
v. To fill the HOLE improperly by STACKING PRODUCT HOLE-high in the front, but leaving a void behind such a false facade: “Arrgh! Who wall-blocked peanut butter!” —n. Any STACK of PRODUCT so arranged. Contrast BLOCK.NOTE: 
Generally speaking, Wall-Blocking is A Very Bad Thing. Don't do it! It obscures the true state of the SHELF when it comes to tracking and ordering INVENTORY, and also gets in the way of whoever has to THROW to that HOLE next, because they have to waste time taking down the wall before they can fill the void behind. Give us a break!
Of course, if the ITEM'S profile fills the HOLE naturally, regular BLOCKING of, say, a cake mix, would always leave a void behind that single FACE. However, that's not the same as a true Wall Block, because in this instance, one gentle nudge is enough to collapse the void, leaving it easy to fill.
