This equipment has provided additional capacity that has allowed me to significantly grow sales during peak hours with faster lines and a significant reduction in walk outs.
Dans ce contexte, je pense qu'il ait question de fideliser la clientele. Y-a-t-il une traduction directe pour walk outs?

non-acheteurs / potentiels clients perdus
Je pense qu'il ne s'agit pas d'une greve - dans ce contexte, 'a walk-out', c'est un client potentiel qui quitte le magasin sans acheter. Je ne connais pas une expression equivalente en francais...mais il s'agit d'un potentiel client perdu .

It's not just 'frustrated' customers - I have seen this expression used to describe ANY customer who walks out without buying anything.

Tristan Jimenez
: il n'y a pas d'expression similaire en français.. Mais il s'agit bien d'un client désintéressé qui quitte un établissement sans acheter quoique ce soit.

Paul KLINKENBORG (X)
: I partly agree - but 'fuite' implies an actual LOSS of existing customers. 'Walk-outs', however, may return the next day - the shop may have been too busy, or they might not have found what they were looking for.
