  Because despite the temptation of walking out with merchandise, EVERY PLACE has cameras by now, and you'd be fucked.
  You're welcome.

  Yeah - service is pretty-bad in many stores - I assume the low-pay has a lot to do with it, as well as a healthy job market where there aren't many good employees available for hiring and people in these jobs may not be too concerned about losing their current job.

  Because they are secretly in love with you and wanted to keep you around longer.

  Maybe Tractor Supply needs to see how Walmart does it. They tend to understaff too but keep customers coming back to buy their shit.

  At least Walmart has the self checkout lines - the old Cuban lady cashiers at my local Walmart take their sweet time and think having a conversation with their workmate takes priority over the customer - thus I use self checkout as much as possible

  The corporate overlords demand stores keep labor costs low. Thus managers chronically understaff to keep out of trouble and assure the CEO his bonus.

  The low unemployment rate is killing service. Waits are long at restaurants and gas station attendants are surly.
  
  I also imagine a lot of brick and mortar stores have cut employees and hours, hurting morale. Plus they want you to use an app on your phone to find what you're looking for and pay by self check out
