I do find it peculiar you picked hospital. That aren't that many movies, if any, take place mostly in the supermarket or grocery store, in park, inside the cinema either. Other than My Diner with Andre, I don't know any other movie that takes place mostly inside a restaurant. Okay, maybe Ratatouille. Lots of people in those places too. because there have been a thriving hospital based dramas on TV for decades now- which can't be said about the other items on your list (grocery stores, etc.)

If you are going to complain that the answers are running far afield of your original question, then I suggest you be more specific about your restrictions in your opening statement. I do not care for your attitude, phantomparticle. Especially after lune7000 has been (to quote his own word) "charitable" to you. You were caught flagrantly "stretching", and the least you could do would have been to apologise, delete the offending post, and take garden leave for a couple of weeks. There was obviously no need for lune7000 to have excepted military and mental hospitals. Anyone with common sense would have realised that only the "good, old-fashioned hospital we all use" was acceptable. It is just standard social convention. If I ask for a pound of bananas in the corner-shop, I am not required to specify "do not give me military bananas or mentally-deranged bananas". It goes without saying that I want the "good, old-fashioned" bananas we all eat.

If you consider a mild suggestion to lune7000 "attitude" all I can say is you are really thin skinned. And I don't need anyone to be "charitable" to me if it means I have to withhold my true opinions just to be a nice guy. As for "flagrantly stretching," several posters have added films that take place in various medical institutions without you inflating like a blowfish. I see no reason to apologize for a post I don't consider offensive simply because I ask for clarification on subject.
As for your "anyone with common sense" statement, you might want to look up the standard definition of the word hospital.
Here are two examples:
I fail to see anything in those definitions that rule out wartime and emergency hospitals.
One final thought. I've been on the boards for well over a year now and if I have most likely expressed contrary views to many posters, but I have never taken a belligerent or offensive tone with anyone. At least, not until today, and only because I don't deserve it from someone who was not even the recipient of my disagreement.
If lune7000 has an issue with me, I'm willing to listen to his opinions and share mine. I'm sure he doesn't need a front man to fight his wars.
And that, I may say, is real attitude on my part.
