I shop for food - I'm too lazy to shop online. I also shop in the local town for stuff I can't readily get on line, some niche stuff. I visited a tea and cheese shop in a nearby town the other day with a friend (who is into both cheese and tea) I came away with some loose tea and some nice cheese. It was mid-afternoon and we'd been the shop's sole customers all day...
I certainly don't go to shop in the hope of social interaction. I find dealing with my fellow humans in the retail environment is not as pleasant as I would wish.
They're opening a Screwfix in town, I guess that will be really pleasant, especially as it's next door to Home Bargains.
