We must be going to different stores on different days.

All the Local IGAs in my area employ single mums and more mature staff members. The only young employees I see are family members of the owners.

The big IGA in a nearby town employs the same demographics of staff members; they even have a professional Butcher on staff (and they have excellent value cuts of meat) (I used to deliver for a butcher when I was younger and have seen some dodgy butchers and some overpriced dodgy butchers and some excellent butchers.)
