Yeah this is exactly what I’m thinking - they want to maximize the time a shopper spendsin the store while Amazon wants to minimize it. Also supermarkets have their own stockers who have to spend time turning labels, unwrapping things, organizing them on shelves. And they deliberately understaff cashiers causing people to wait (notice how you’ll always have to wait in line when shopping unless you go very late/early when there’s often only one cashier). It’s just not efficient
