A store you can quickly get in and out of with a variety of everyday items at a reasonable price that seems to pay its employees well. What's not too love?

Also, several in my area have implemented self checkouts that don't bitch you out for every single item. I can scan everything from my cart and bag it up later at a counter or my car if the weather's nice.

Boomers are actively finding a way to be offended by that as we speak. "Back in my day, we stood on iron floor pads in slip persistent shoes for 12 hours a day and offered service with a smile!"
