It's a giant steel and concrete box, that's probably the reason.

They probably don't have any repeaters. All those metal shelves are going to interfere with the signal. I have the same experience.

Their in-store WiFi is a repeater more or less. It's one of those bullshit forced auto-join networks that you can't opt out of (at least on iOS). Because that's not a massive vector for phishing or anything.

Always wondered if this was a deliberate strategy to enable more tracking… but it sounds way beyond the ability of their corporate planning.
