It's not just for the kids, what those places really should be are entrees to the collecting world not only for kids but also for people returning.

In other words, don't make assumptions which are not true

A different issue and something you are seeing at those stores, is they are not always able to get hobby product from distributors or order direct as there are more stores now than in a long time.

For some of those card stores, and I know at least one who overpays to get somewhat reasonably priced packs into his store, getting those cards may be the only way to get packs into their customers hands. Don't assume they are making the full $20 to full retail profit. Some may be, most are not.
