Yes.
Natives don't say every word clearly. They only say the important words clearly.
In *come to the store*, the important words are *COME* and *STORE*.
The middle words *to the* are not important, so they make them very small and fast.
*to the* = *tuh-thuh* -> sounds like *"muh"* when fast.
So:
Slow: come TO THE store
Fast: come *tuh-thuh* store = *kum muh store*
It's normal. All natives do it.
