In the US, I don't know about Europe, etc.....

Actually, nearly all retailers do this. The practice started in grocery
stores 40+ years ago. For the last years of its life, Tower Record made
all of their profit on the in-store poster placements, and placement at
the listening kiosks.

The prices in retail stores have to be as low as the mailorder shops.
They need the shelving fees to keep the lights on and pay for rent.
