Countries have a labor shortage while simultaneously having overemployment with people doing pointless jobs, or people desperately searching for jobs and hundreds of people applying to the same positions. People who "graduate" from working at a grocery store and putting money in their own pockets often end up sitting at a computer doing nothing but scrolling through the internet and putting money in their employer's pockets.

Corner grocery stores aren't really a problem.

The real question is not whether they are a problem but why such wildly inefficient systems exist, and the answer is likely a factor in the desperation.
