Don't you have a common enemy to unite in hatred against? New Zealanders, emu, etc?

Visit a grocery store in the US at 4pm on a weekday. You'll be hugging your neighbors after.

Are 16 o'clock US groceries infamous for something?

I, I have no idea what this means...

I've been to US grocery stores, they seem fairly chill. Where I went at least.

In cities they're incredibly crowded, mostly with people lacking self awareness.

Hmm, i could imagine that. The ones I went to were all along the west coast, maybe that made a difference.
