already in the eggcorn database:

i've added neil's example in a comment, with the note:

   Since some occurrences are likely to just be misspellings, it
would be nice to talk to some of those who use this spelling, to see
if at least some of them are thinking that the word refers to the
islands of goods in a store (or seats in a church) that you walk among.
