You sound like you had a murder down your block and you are scared (understandably), but if nobody else anywhere had any murders you should understand why they aren't scared.

My carrier lets me issue esims myself on their website. I can login, get a QR code, and scan it on my phone and the service just starts working.

Personally I find this preferable to having to go to a physical location, and the fact that I can issue a new sim card to myself anywhere in the world has been very helpful.
