Yes. I can imagine that choosing to split these genres would give the people running the shop a new hobby: arguing with the clients about which book should go where.

There is already plenty of other overlap anyway. Horror, mystery, crime, adventure, romance and eroticism all the rest regularly get mashed up. Even fiction and non-fiction get mashed up often enough to sometimes cause issues trying to separate them on the shelf.
