I hate that American work culture makes you feel guilty for doing regular life responsibilities

Banks close at 5, Doctor offices close at 5, Vets usually close earlier, Mechanics, Kids, Family, Etc… All of these things are part of daily life that we all need to take care of every now and then. Yet, jobs will grill you for taking off a bit early to tend to any of them. Why?? Do the bosses not have these same responsibilities? Do the owners not have doctors appointments or families? I hate feeling guilty or worried just because I need to help my wife with something during working hours, or if I need to run by the bank during the week.
