Dude, you're in a Walmart. You can't have peopleofwalmart.com AND have a polished ceiling. There's a reason their stuff is so cheap.
When you shop at big box stores, the money leaves the community and goes to the wealthy 0.01%ers.
But the evil of their methods is that typically once they move in there's literally no other options left. Everything else either goes out of business or your wages drop so low you can't afford anything else.
These are a blight on American society.
These types of stores didn't used to be possible for various reasons. But removal of anti-trust regulations and a focus on car-centrism have enabled this hellish combo of monopolistic box stores that can pop up, kill the competition and leave a wasteland behind in which it is both financially and legally impossible for the local population to bring back local stores.
Local stores tend to be in the older town areas where dense-buildings were once legal, and are grandfathered in. These get bought up and flattened and replaced with a mcdonalds or a gas station while the walmartification is in full swing. Then once walmart implodes there because no one can afford it anymore, walmart closes and the other chains close as well. No one can afford to replace walmart or the gas stations at scale for the obnoxious amount of land they use, but they also can't replace them with more dense buildings because its literally illegal.
I think it's a size thing. At some point it just doesn't make sense to put in a lowered ceiling, because it costs a lot of money for no purpose and still looks like shit. Large stores in Europe also have visible airducts and supports etc.
Also, some malls have rules for what tenants are allowed to do with it, either for safety reasons (water sprinklers/fire alarms) or just because they don't want to repaint or remove whatever the tenant did with it before they went bankrupt.
This is what every Meijer I've been to looks like. Yes, this is a Meijer, not Walmart.
Actually looks pretty clean to me. The ceiling having nothing but beams is pretty standard issue.
As a Texan, I'd be remiss if I didn't post about HEB:
Practically every store is different, they tailor them to the neighborhoods they're built in.

If you think this is run down looking you should see shops in other countries
What's wrong with it?
I am honestly not noticing anything particularly bad myself. I could take picture of a local store in worse condition but its mostly due to the fact it's alpt older than all the other grocery establishments near by and I think the company has deemed it unnecessary to support as much.
Should go into a Dollar General. They aren't all dumps, but a whole lot of them should be shut down by the local fire Marshal, since they got boxes and product right in the isles, turning the store into a labyrinth, and forcing customers to step over things.
