I’m from the US and most grocery stores I’ve been to have so much stuff piled on the shelves you can’t really see inside. I was maybe 20 or so the first time I saw a person walking around back there and was quite surprised.
Sometimes workers don’t even see back there very often. I remember hearing about a stocker getting stuck and dying behind some shelves. (There’s a chance this is just an urban legend. I’ve never checked if it’s real.)
There’s doors to behind the shelves, they don’t just go back there when it’s empty and stock themselves in.
Where I’m from, the shelves are just tightly (efficiently) packed, and so you’re not seeing much back there. The lights are also presumably on timers, or at least a switch and you don’t leave it on if you’re not in there working. So it’s generally just a dark room behind it .

Just wait till you go to a Costco or Sam’s and see them driving a forklift in there. 😀
