amazing news, thank you! I’ll checkout Germany and plan a driving route to Netherlands or something. doesn’t seem that far of a drive tbh. (I drove 7 hours 1 way just for an Xmas party a few weekends ago. lol… 14 in total for a 5 hour party). I know, absurd for Europeans to think about :P

Germany. Even the “big” supermarkets are tiny and they’re all German owned.

European motorways are a nightmare. It might not look that far on the map, but I’d rather drive from Boston to Brooklin ME on the i95 than from Karlsruhe to Freiburg on the A5.

I remember Walmart tried to go into Germany and failed because they didnt understand the culture there. Greeters turned most people off for example.

Actually, Walmart’s “corporate culture” violated German labor laws. And they couldn’t compete with the German chains who were already established either.
