Endless hallways with food? You can eat all you need, use the bathroom and never run into your own poop, just keep on walking. Sounds like a win.
Maybe throw that little guy in the shadows a pickle or two, he’ll probably leave you alone after that. He probably just can’t open the jar with his murder claws (I assume he has murder claws)
There’s a good anti consumerism theme horror there
Oh I hadn’t thought of that angle, but good interpretation.

I love this kind of setting in horror - a trap beyond human reasoning that uses innocuous locations from our regular lives, like stores, as a sort of pastiche.
The traps draw us in with their mundaneity, and hint that our entire perception of reality is in some way inadequate. That the world is very different than how we think of it.
The best kind of gaslighting.
