Why is there no App Store sign-out button on the store drop-down menu? What happened to it? How do I sign out??? If you want to change accounts or just sign-out, Apple's help menu says to use the sign-out button on the Store dropdown menu.
Mac mini, macOS 13.7

I have no idea how long it has been missing. I also don't know why only my computer would have it missing though, I guess that is a possibility. I have begun to see so many weird quirks that I would not be surprised by almost anything any longer.
Two things to try.
Reboot the computer in Safe Mode then back in normal mode. That often clears out cruft.
Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support
Create another user account and see if you see the same problem there. If you don't, then at least you've narroed it down to something with your account. That gives us a place to start.
Check here: App Store -> Store -> Sign Out.
Are you using ScreenTime? I don't use that but I am wondering if it was disabled there.

I do not have multiple email addresses, so that is not an option. Besides, how am I supposed to log in to a new account IF I CAN'T LOG OUT OF MY NORMAL ACCOUNT?!??!
I tried going into safe mode and back out. No joy. No surprise.
Is there any setting in settings that may make it impossible to sing out?
This is ridiculous. I couldn't even sell this computer if I was inclined to do so!
I wonder if apple is losing control of its software?
App store sign out is missing
