Staircase in front of a shop

[myfs_86679]

Hi,
If there are a few steps of staircase just in front of the shop, is it a bad thing like money will be rolled away?
If yes, will constructing a "hump" on the floor in front of the staircase help?(sketch below)

Dear Anon,
It is best if, you can attach a picture. As, it is important to see the general area of the shop and surrounding to this area.
Usually, it is usually not advisable to have shops (unless, they are very exclusive e.g. branded) that gives an exquisite feel.
Common people usually try to avoid steps leading to shops as it may feel `unwelcoming'. In such a situation, in my opinion, it does not matter if a "hump" can help. It may inadvertently cause someone to trip. Usually business of such establishments may not be striving given the `unwelcome' effect.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
