No, they stick all the men's stuff all the way in the back! Then you

That's the same reason milk (a commonly purchased single item) is at the
back of supermarkets. *You must walk past all the other tempting stuff

Not where I live.

The biggest supermarket chain in my area (Wegmans) has a small
refrigerated section with milk, eggs, butter and few other staples
right near front door, and right near the express lane registers.

I'm often in and out in a matter of minutes.
