Wait, do they have some kind of legal exception?
Yes, those markets are at stations, so they can argue they sell ‘travel needs’. But they sell the same goods as every market of those brands
Ah, I see
They might sell the same food, but they do sell them for way higher prices. They have to because the rent for the shops is high, but also because the people buying there have nowhere else to go, because usually no one goes there that can go shopping elsewhere. So better plan ahead with opening times of your normal grocery store.
Interesting… here in Denmark shops are also closed on Thursday.
I know, that’s why the entire DK population is in Flensburg right now, stocking up on beer.
But also don’t panic. The days before long holidays the supermarkets are packed with people preparing for the end of the world.
Yes, shops will be open again on Saturday, it’s just one day…
Danke Brudi, hatte es leider vergessen.
Do German stores close over the weekend as well? We used to do that in Canada but it’s been years since that stopped.
They are closed on Sunday. On Saturday shops close earlier, especially if you are in a rural area.
And remember: absolutely no dancing! Because otherwise Baby Jesus will cry.
Also, no matter what, DO NOT watch/show The Life of Brian on Holy Friday, since that would be the ultimate sacrilege! Which is something I would of course never dare to make a yearly ritual out of.
That’s a great idea, thanks!
My mother had this weird obsession that you couldn’t eat meat on Good Friday, even though she never cared about religion at all. Guess what I’m having tomorrow?
To circumvent the rule of no meat on Good Friday, in Germany the “Maultasche” (mouth bag) was invented, also called “Herrgottsbescheißerle” in Swabian dialect (little God cheaters). The meat is minced and colored with spinach and then pasta dough is put around it, so “God and your neighbors can’t see the meat inside”.
It is delicous on every day!
I’m tempted to go to a church and dance there.
You filthy criminal!
