Not necessarily. Loads of buildings are faraday cages by accident. I know my old school gym completely blocked cell signal due to how it was built

Many big-box stores effectively block most if not all cell signal; you might not notice because Home Depot provides free wifi.

I assume it's unintentional though right?

I suspect so, but I wouldn't put it past Costco to intentionally block most of price checking say ...

(Costco being the only one I've been in that didn't provide store-wide free wifi.)
