Hi. Fine subject for a first post this!

No, there are purely a market-driven concept, "Family-Friendly" is a big thing in retail marketing just now. Based on some spurious American psychological construct called "Mom-Time" as well as research that suggests that shopping with kids makes you more prone to impulse & pressure buying.

If they had "Wadgem-Spaces" for above average spenders, that at least would be more honest.

Another hint is that parking a little bit away from the doors & a stroll, for an able-bodied person/family makes the whole experience a good bit less pressurised.
