I don't think the WAG have moved the goalposts as such. I think the truth is they never put the goalposts properly in position to begin with. Apparently, the advice available to shop owners or managers on this subject was woolly at best and non-existent at worst, hence the subsequent mess. I think the reality is that it is something that was hastily introduced and very little logical thought was applied to it beforehand.
