27. Depressing Supermarkets
October 29, 2025•163 words
Before facing the Checkout, and after trying a blind eye to the dirtiness of the supermarket, I try to do my grocery, out of necessity.
Germany is not know for its gastronomy, having none, and my city is not know for its farmer's market, having none, so when it comes to fruits and vegetables, I have no choice but to rely on the horrible German Supermarket, it can be Edeka, Alnatura, Aldi and co, the selection is poor. Of course the "essentials" are there.
When I went to a Leclerc or Super U in France, I was amazed how clean, well structured, well stocked, and cheap it was.
I then became sad that visiting a French Supermarket became a source of joy or happiness. Rich people's problems alright.
Maybe being raised in France and being French is my curse as I will always compare French Supermarkets and food to others that cannot mesure up at all. Even after Covid and all those crisis.
