It also has to do with being able to run a store efficiently and with less personnel. Thereby passing on a lower cost to the customers PLUS being able to pay their employees quite well compared to competitors. It is definitely a concept that has worked so far in both Europe and the US, but not all of us like the same shopping experience and that's okay. We are fortunate in this country to have so many choices.
