Great video! We have the Makro stores here in the Netherlands. They are also pretty big but you need a membership card. Keep up the good work, you are my youtube hero! Greetings from Naaldwijk Holland
I think almost all of the groceries are quite exactly the same.. these vid reminds me of big supermarkets here in philippines.. i lived here and the features in this video really reminds me a lot! Love shopping!..
Haha i just had to see your video about the supermarkets in the Netherlands. Im from the Netherlands and it's cool to see you pointing out differences between the States and here. Thanks a lot, i love your channel!
i am german and first i was a little jealous about the variety of the products u can get in the us and the couponing thing, but now i am much more happy to live here. A Bag of shredded cheese cost here around 0.99€( >1,33$ ) Our stores are maybe a little smaller, we have not so much variety and for sure smaller packaging.But the prices are also low XDNever seen or wanted beefjerky maybe in britishshops. We have alot east european stuff (russia/poland etc) and from turkey (land not bird) greetz
Another great video, Nathan, keep it up! They are adictive! I watched this whole video and I shop at Albertsons all the time -- it's your commentary that has us hooked.
In Norway you can only get beer in regular stores, nothing above 5-6% alcohol. And the cheapest beer is priced at about 10$ per litre... I usually buy Kronenbourg 1664 which is 5.5$ for a 0.33 bottle...
Cereal Marshmallows sorry but the ignorant it you ,cause you don't take a criticism, my kids love seeing videos like this and you was going from one said to the other to fast.sorry you're the ass if you don't andersend why they tell you that.
Here in Brazil I also see the eggs mostly on the shelves, and not being refrigerated. So, what is your favorities brand of beers? If this is a regular grocery store and not a supercenter, in general its bigger than a regular grocery store here in Brazil.
That store reminds me of the super Kroger stores here in Virginia minus the hard liquor which you have to buy at an ABC store. (Alcoholic Beverage Control) The super Kroger stores also have a Pharmacy in them as well and a flower shop. :-) I have trouble doing much walking due to my hips and knees being messed up so I have a tendency to avoid the large grocery stores like that.
This your supermarket in the U.S. There's bigger like your Walmart and Meijers. Then you have a warehouse store where you buy bulks like Sam's club and Costco.
Wow I was surprised at how surprised you was that they had all these things together in the same building! I thought that an American store would be completely different to ones in UK, actually they are completely identical... Scary really!!
I work at an Albertsons in Montana, and I see a lot of similarities. Oh and the song I hear on the radio is annoying too...However as you had mentioned, we do not sell hard alcohol in the store. We do get a lot of people who ask here.
In europé it is a major difference between supermarkets located in the middle of towns and the ones that you can find in the large shoping centers out in the suburbs. The ones outside are usually much larger, cheaper and very much like this one in the video. Not only food, they sell basicaly anything that has to do with your house.
I'm from the USA and I have a different store on the east coast where I live I go to its all hand bagging still and the workers arnt to bad lol good vid
Oh I already did man! :D I like ur videos and that car! noticed ur ring even looks really coo I think we got similair taste lol I didnt even know you could keep eggs warm until I saw this video! lol
yeah same in australia, supermarkets squeeze the little guys out of the market. we have a duopoly here with another significant player, hardly any smaller supermarket chains.
I live in South Carolina and I think that it is funny how much things cost in California. Everything is less here for the most part from gas on down. Gas today is 3.06 today near my house. A lot of the price being so high are the taxes are so high to pay for all of the programs that your Reps pass. Also here you are not allowed to sell liqueur in the same building where you sell beer. Thanks for the video. I really enjoyed it.
here in Finland our stores have many different burger and hot dog buns, Our eggs are always refrigerated, and they sell bleach and detergent, shampoo, tampons all that stuff too ( i thought that was completely normal wtf where do you buy it then) we even have jerkey! i guess our stores are pretty similar then, only we dont sell other alcohol than beer and cider and that. btw our soda and chips aisles are just as big, candy aisle twice as big
Hey @CerealMarshmallows am doing my thesis and i would love to use your video to do some promo videos. Could I use it? Of course you would have credit and I would really love to. Thanks anyway!
Yeah, I did erase it because I felt it was stupid after reading it for the second time (lol). I didn't realise you'd read it right after I pressed submit. Anyway, I'd love to visit the US one day and indeed I subscribed to your videos :-)
Ha you just got on ground turkey for everything? I've done it my whole life with the exception of going to a restaurant, which is very infrequent, can't say I'm missing anything. The turkey life is good!
The eggs are left out warm because they're processed differently. If you raise chickens or been around anyone that does you find that you can keep eggs on the shelf, refrigerated for quite a while.
I'm quite shocked.. I live in Italy where the quality of the products is a must.. In America food is all processed...it's like Americans need bigger and bigger things in their life to be satisfied. I will tell you an italian traditional quote: "poco ma buono!" Means "less but better" !!!!
You literally eat a type of cheese with maggots in it because it’s a delicacy according to Italians. Much rather have clean pasteurized cheese rather than your nasty smelly cheese.
Canada is the same way for eggs and choice depending on the store u go too. and where i live in quebec we have liquor in are stores.. but in the other province they have a beer store. weird hugh?
i work and live in the town of Hilversum (between utrecht and amsterdam) (15mins with the train from a'dam) great town with famous architecture and nature. :)
Cool video, II've noticed when there that UK stores tend to more like the US stores than other EU counties I've visited. Many of the brands are the same, including beers. Hey, Newcastle Brown, its my local brand in However, bread is big here. Our wal-mart's all have their own bakeries. and bacon, what's up with American bacon? Tho Utz chips, I do miss Utz chips. And why can I buy California Orange juice cheaper here than I could when I was in Virginia this year? LOL!
Ikr! same. I was just curious as to what people from other countries might think of our grocery store, since they hate most American junk foods. *Or the videos iv watched people from other countries hate our junk food*
great we have also similar stores in germany,n the bread section in this us store is fakked if u asked me :D,no bakery in a grocery? fakked;) just kiddin,..the beer selection looks also really cute for a german
+TheGamersFriend It's not a bakery. It's a bakery style in store department where they sell warmed up baked goods, that were industrial produced at a large factory.
Absurd nonsense. The store get prebaked baked goods from a factory and those are finished inside the store by "baking" them a few minutes in a baking oven. They don't produce the dough in the store and they don't get raw dough to produce the baked goods inside the store. The store doesn't has the space for several production lines for baked goods.
Sebastian Urbas no, Wal-Mart as I know bakes he items you see in that department not anywhere else in the store, I would know cause I worked there before.
wow amazing america is great and amazing country u should be thankful if u live in america . i have questions how all this works . i mean how the workers fill missing products all the time and asking for quantitative products so as not to spoil. How are pursuing shelf life. In general, how all this works . give me a link if u can . Cereal Marshmallows thanke u for the video .
Ex-Pat here from the USA showing my German family the video, very interesting for them to see an Albertsons. I counted 10 freezer cabinets for Pizza, impressive considering here we've got but two varieties to choose from. $8.00 for a 8oz pack of Cheese? For that price it can keep hanging there. Lastly, did an Employee give you drama as you were leaving the store? what was that about?
+RockingFretwerk What are you talking about? There are only two varities of frozen pizza at a German grocery store? Don't state such BS. 10 freezer cabinets for pizza is really not impressive. Frozen pizza is more common in Germany than it is in the U.S. Americans eat therefore a lot more Pizza away from home The grocery store in this video is very similar to a Real, Kaufland or Globus store in Germany. It's really nothing special. And 10 freezer cabinets for pizza is really not impressive. Don't act like oh they don't have large grocery stores in Germany or Europe.
Nice tour, but people should know that supermarkets differ in different parts of the US. This is an Albertson's in California? I live on the east coast, and we don't have Albertson's out here. I shop at a Wegmans, which I love because of its great selection of fresh fruits and vegetables, including a lot of organic produce. There's a wonderful bakery in the store that makes fresh bread every day, lots of fresh seafood. I didn't see that in this store. Maybe I missed it. Also, in my state you are not allowed to sell beer, wine, or any kind of liquor in a food market. Just a quirk of local law.
Jewel in the midwest, and Shaw's on the East Coast are Albertsons. They just use a different name for different regions. Found this out during training when I worked doing overnight stock for Shaw's.
We do have a bigger juice section Its just that we only refrigerate our Orange Juice an Lemonade/Limeades The rest of the juices are always kept warm in an isle
I’ve got vivid memories of Exploring some American supermarkets in California. I’m from japan. Any stuff sold in Japanese supermarkets are not big as in American ones. Every single time I saw big food portion in the USA,I was close to throwing up lol I love the USA but American food portion really came as a big surprise to me who is used to eating Food sold in Japan. I’m totally sure you’d get shocked at how small our food is lol
Don't be sold about our foods! Lot's of preservatives, etc. Please pay attention to product ingredients we use in foods! Europe has banned alot of that ! America is an awesome country, but the corporate world rules here!
In the UK, $5 for a loaf of bread is expensive. A branded one would be about $2-2.50. I just go a reduction time and get a loaf for like 10 cents! The difference in eggs is simply cos they are treated differently here. Yours are probably washed in bleach solution or something which does something to the shell so it has to be refrigerated I think.
I check out alot of dealers,like gateway,vangaurd,etc and they have nice cars,but you know something because of you being honest I would rather buy a car from you if I had the money.I like that t-bird in this video there was not many made and the best thing is it shares the fox platform which means you can use mustang parts on it
Je bent Nederlands? Zo te zien is het prijspeil hoger dan in Nederland. (brood bier eieren) ------------------------------------- It seems that basic products (bread beer eggs) are more expensive in the USA.
In the mid-70's, I worked in a supermarket (until I quit after 2 days), where we actually stamped the prices on each individual can/bottle/bag, etc. Imagine that?! Days of the dinosaur.
+Filip Cvrček No, it's quite uncommon in most European countries. In Germany we also don't refrigerate our eggs. In America they wash the eggs, so they loose their natural protection, that's the reason why eggs in the U.S. have to be refrigerated.
Hi Sebastian Thank You for paying attention. As Americans It seams as we don't care how we dress, But we all do . Every time we go out to a grocery store or shopping mall etc etc We know were trend setters for most of the enlightened Country's of the World. Every Day I get two or three comments (from foreigners about my style of dress) common I have to get the exact change for the bus most of the time I can't give directions to the good will store. Thank You again, By the By what's a nick name for Sebastian?
Maybe it's because I'm in North Carolina, but I have never heard of this store before. According to the internet, they don't have one in North Carolina.
+RingSight91 Taxes in most European countries aren'T nationalized. For example every municipality in Germany has it's own commercial tax. Grocery prices at large retailers differ normally from store to store. The price tags are already different in different stores (at least for groceries). Today there isn't an excuse for not including the VAT into the price.
***** In my opinion it wouldn't be a problem for retailers in the U.S. to include the sales tax into the price tag. Every store has different operating costs and the retailer will adjust their prices to cover the costs. Therefore there is no plausible reason for not including the tax into the price tag. Normally every store adjust their prices to the local competition. They can just include the tax into the price tag. You are certainly right when it comes to goods like clothing or other products where the price tag is already attached to the product at the HQ of the company.
***** It's indeed difficult for clothing and other products where the price tag is attached to the product. But it would be very easy for groceries. Normally each branch prints it's own price tags. I would be very strange if the Walmart HQ prints all the price tags and then send them via snail-mail to the stores. In grocery retailing electronic price tags are widespread these days. They can be changed within a few seconds.
***** The price tags that you can see on the shelves are printed in the store: www.internationalpointofsale.com/images/rmsbundle/zebraprinter.jpg The shop assistant walk with a bunch of price tags through the store and replace old price tags on the shelves. Of course he don't walk with the price tag printer through the store. And individually tagged products with stickers was the technique 30 years ago. It really doesn't make sense to ship the price tags from the next regional distribution center. What if they lose a few price tags? Will a shop asstistant then drive a few hundred miles to the distribution center to get new price tags? What if the store manager want to lower the price of some produce products, because they have to many in stock?
18pack Miller Genuine Draft $11.99 Phx .Az. 6 Pk Guiness Bottle $5.99 Dozen Large eggs $1.29...1 pound strawberries $0.99 cents (on sale)reg $1.59 /pound these prices were at Frys supermarket in Phoenix. I know in Europe, people go to the market more often and I suppose this is in part because Refrigerators in Europe are tiny compared to refrigerators in USA; for example most everyone in my area (the people I know), have refrigerators that are any where from 21 to 28 Cubic feet storage,that also make Ice water filtered, Ice cubes on demand,or crushed ice on demand and on top of that many folks also have a free standing additional freeze. One guy has a second refrigerator (in his garage) that he converted to hold half barrels of beer,even has a tap on the front for draft pours.
+starview1 It's not so common that Europeans shop at markets but surely more often than Americans. In Germany for example those markets are everywhere, but maybe just 1% of the food is bought at those markets. Mostly elderly people shop there, because it's more like a social gathering for them. People in Europe don't eat out that much, so they buy a lot more food at grocery stores than Americans do. The density of grocery stores in Europe is much higher than in the U.S. Tiny Germany for example has about 28,000 grocery stores, compared to about 37,000 grocery stores in the whole of the U.S. Most Germans can easily walk in less than 10 minutes to a grocery store. That makes grocery shopping very convenient. Some people do a weekly shopping trip, but it's more common to shop groceries almost daily. People don't like salad or bread that is more than 2 days old. Many people also want fresh milk and not over processed milk. I live in a bigger city and I have 4 grocery stores in a circle of just 500 meters. For me it doesn't make sense to use the car to get to the grocery store. Grocery stores are also often located directly near the tram or bus stop. At least in Germany most grocery stores are much smaller than in the U.S. so it's easy to be in and out in just 10 minutes. It's true that most people in Europe use smaller refrigerators. Because there is really no need for bigger refrigerators. Those huge refrigerators would be less than half filled in most European households. And those huge refrigerators often destroy the look of a kitchen because it's more difficult to hide those huge refrigerators behind the kitchen fronts. Your assumption is wrong because you thougt Europeans can't afford huge refrigerators so they need to shop more often, because they don't have enough cooling space. This mindset is so typically for Americans, and sorry but it's so arrogant. In Germany people usually have a second refrigerator and a freezer in the basement. Many people also have a party room with a bar and a cooled beer pump in the basement.
Sebastian Urbas never said folks in Europe can't afford anything,I would never say that. What I am saying,,as you say (in part) is there are fewer open markets in USA, in part because local health departments with strict government oversight, plus there just aren't a lot of small market farms in the USA, anymore. By the way you are watching too much hollywood, , in fact Americans are not arrogant,what I'm talking about, is relative to The United States of America (which is significantly different from Europe) and that's ok, as Europe is Europe and The United States is The United States. At the same time I hear what you are saying, more clearly than you might imagine as I have a number of good buddies in Germany, where when we get the chance to get together and talk (over 10 or 12 beers) this conversation occasionally... shows up, at the end of the day we enjoy the differences, it is what it is!..."“Ein Prosit” to all of us.
+starview1 I don't watch TV that much and I would never think that Hollywood movies gives a proper picture of America. Most Americans I met were really nice, funny and friendly. But there are also those Americans who thinks they have to show me what a microwave looks like and how it works. Or they say I must be delighted to be in an American grocery store (it was in a Market Basket store in the NE, the store looked awful). Or you can read statements from Americans in the internet like "In Germany they only have Aldi and mom-and-pop shops. Germans know nothing about real grocery stores". Of course that sounds really arrogant. That's so ridiculous, because the grocery store in this video or the Market Basket store I have seen or most other American grocery stores that can be eyed in YT videos look so plain, and carelessly decorated, and lack innovation. The cheese and meat counter are a joke. Entering such stores is like a time travel back to the 80s. I would never complain about American grocery stores when there were not so many Americans that argue that their grocery stores were the envy of the world. I really don't understand why so many Americans think that. Yeah, we have nice beer here in Düsseldorf, our Altbier. But you aren't allowed to drink Kölsch ;-)
Sebastian Urbas Well, yes I know there are some serious American twits, I should say uninformed twits in the USA as well as in the world, many of them show up on TH-cam for sure. As far a grocery stores ala USA ,sure some look like the Luftwaffe had a direct hit on them, but there are others especially here in Arizona that are boutique like grocery stores,with chiefs, guides, and health directors. So sure just like everything else in USA it varies from place to place. Like forget about good sausage in Arizona, but in Wisconsin, Iowa, Nebraska they've got the "good Stuff" so to speak. The thing about the United States is that it is Enormous when compared to Europe, and shops,people and style vary as you move around in the United States. That Microwave thing you mentioned is really odd to me, You must have run across some real screwballs.lol
+Sebastian Urbas You mention arrogance of Americans and then continue to degrade Americans and generalize and stereotype. I don't think starview1 ever said Americans, or their grocery stores, were the "envy of the world". I lived in Berlin for 8 months in 2013 and Mainz for 6 months in 2008, and very much missed American grocery stores and what they offered. It doesn't mean one is better than the other, it's just a reflection of cultural differences and nothing to argue about. BTW a lot of grocery stores DO do their own baking, and if not, there are of course bakeries you can go to.
It's cute to see someone amazed by things we take for granted.
great video mate. it's cool to see the similarities and differences compared to our supermarkets in Australia
Great video! We have the Makro stores here in the Netherlands. They are also pretty big but you need a membership card. Keep up the good work, you are my youtube hero! Greetings from Naaldwijk Holland

yep winter gardens in lakeside ca. I live in that area.
Miss shopping at Albersons and Ralphs :-) Nice video, thx for sharing

LOL, I was thinking that! Hold the damn camera bruh!!
In New York, we have beer, low-alcohol wine "product", but no hard liquor or real wine in grocery stores.
I searched everywhere for videos like this. Can you do a ralphs tour with in depth prices
Here in Brazil I also see the eggs mostly on the shelves, and not being refrigerated.
So, what is your favorities brand of beers?
If this is a regular grocery store and not a supercenter, in general its bigger than a regular

It's incredible to see all the products in the USA about food, drinks and so on a big choice than in France for ex
I love this video. Really interesting :).
In europé it is a major difference between supermarkets located in the middle of towns and the ones that you can find in the large shoping centers out in the suburbs. The ones outside are usually much larger, cheaper and very much like this one in the video. Not only food, they sell basicaly anything that has to do with your house.
This was interesting at least to some of your american viewers because we don't have this chain in the east! Or at least in Virginia...
When I saw prices of articles I was in shock so cheap I can't believe here in croatia is so expansive everything by the way I like america so much
Wow , it's really big especially the radius of milk and orange juice ! In France it's little !
how did they allow you to record all this i dont think its allowed bro anyways happy 4th of july !! ps nice car dude kicking it old school ?
I am from Europe, so thanks for a nice video. I love it
Good job :-)
I'm from the USA and I have a different store on the east coast where I live I go to its all hand bagging still and the workers arnt to bad lol good vid
What did u film this video with because It's very crispy clear? That's for sharing!
Top Places to go shopping now in the US 👍👍👍🙌 🙌🙌🙌
Very similar to Australian supermarkets. Alot of the same brands also.
Thanks for sharing.
Matt
I see You have many light beer in America, it is great for hot days :-)
Oh I already did man! :D
I like ur videos and that car!
noticed ur ring even looks really coo
I think we got similair taste lol
I didnt even know you could keep eggs warm until I saw this video! lol
In the UK you can rarely get Heiniken in 24 packs, but when you do they are like $35 - $40, now thats expensive lol
What ever happened to Albersons? They use to be all over. Now I don't know if any of them are left.
yeah same in australia, supermarkets squeeze the little guys out of the market. we have a duopoly here with another significant player, hardly any smaller supermarket chains.
Nathan, thanks a lot for this video. Interesting!
Everything is cheaper in the UK, milk for example, a gallon costs about £1
I live in South Carolina and I think that it is funny how much things cost in California. Everything is less here for the most part from gas on down. Gas today is 3.06 today near my house.

Haha you're awesome Nate. I probably woulda acted the same way at the end.

it seems that you are so in hurry , only you yourself enjoying shopping.
you never stopped even for a while.you should make another one .
What kind of camera did you use, was it one the other people could see, because then someone might object to your filming?
The eggs are left out warm because they're processed differently. If you raise chickens or been around anyone that does you find that you can keep eggs on the shelf, refrigerated for quite a while.
Thanks Nathan, love it.
One thing I like is to going around in supermarkets and look whats brands they have there
i work at albert heijn, love to copme to the us sometime. but i like the small scale in holland
I miss Albertsons but now I see why so many have gone out, it's super pricey. Compared to Publix or Winn Dixie in Florida it's much pricier
I'm quite shocked.. I live in Italy where the quality of the products is a must.. In America food is all processed...it's like Americans need bigger and bigger things in their life to be satisfied. I will tell you an italian traditional quote: "poco ma buono!" Means "less but better" !!!!
You literally eat a type of cheese with maggots in it because it’s a delicacy according to Italians. Much rather have clean pasteurized cheese rather than your nasty smelly cheese.

Simply an awesome tour!!!
Have a nice day!!!
Ex-Pat here from the USA showing my German family the video, very interesting for them to see an Albertsons. I counted 10 freezer cabinets for Pizza, impressive considering here we've got but two varieties to choose from.
$8.00 for a 8oz pack of Cheese? For that price it can keep hanging there.
Lastly, did an Employee give you drama as you were leaving the store? what was that about?
Cereal Marshmallows hey bro glad you dont eat red meat good for you but why do you drink rock star?? Thats bad for the body .
+RockingFretwerk What are you talking about? There are only two varities of frozen pizza at a German grocery store? Don't state such BS. 10 freezer cabinets for pizza is really not impressive. Frozen pizza is more common in Germany than it is in the U.S. Americans eat therefore a lot more Pizza away from home
The grocery store in this video is very similar to a Real, Kaufland or Globus store in Germany. It's really nothing special. And 10 freezer cabinets for pizza is really not impressive. Don't act like oh they don't have large grocery stores in Germany or Europe.
Up here our supermarkets are called Hannaford and Shaw's.
Thank you for the Great video
Nice tour, but people should know that supermarkets differ in different parts of the US. This is an Albertson's in California? I live on the east coast, and we don't have Albertson's out here. I shop at a Wegmans, which I love because of its great selection of fresh fruits and vegetables, including a lot of organic produce. There's a wonderful bakery in the store that makes fresh bread every day, lots of fresh seafood. I didn't see that in this store. Maybe I missed it. Also, in my state you are not allowed to sell beer, wine, or any kind of liquor in a food market. Just a quirk of local law.
Jewel in the midwest, and Shaw's on the East Coast are Albertsons. They just use a different name for different regions. Found this out during training when I worked doing overnight stock for Shaw's.
oh sure, there is still small bakeries in the USA, probably not as many as there used to be but it's more convienent to buy everything in one place
We do have a bigger juice section
Its just that we only refrigerate our Orange Juice an Lemonade/Limeades
The rest of the juices are always kept warm in an isle
Thank you for sharing this video
I’ve got vivid memories of Exploring some American supermarkets in California.
I’m from japan.
Any stuff sold in Japanese supermarkets are not big as in American ones.
Every single time I saw big food portion in the USA,I was close to throwing up lol
I love the USA but American food portion really came as a big surprise to me who is used to eating Food sold in Japan.
I’m totally sure you’d get shocked at how small our food is lol
Don't be sold about our foods! Lot's of preservatives, etc. Please pay attention to product ingredients we use in foods! Europe has banned alot of that ! America is an awesome country, but the corporate world rules here!
It's exactly the same as our supermarkets here in Australia. I was expecting it to be a lot different but it's not. :)
Can you purchase chakla belan for your store?
I live in London and my local is Harrods food hall and a Waitrose
Btw, you should have gone to Belgium. The big stores over there are a lot more like the ones in the States.
Cant wait for 2 more months till I go to americaaa and walmarttt
In the UK, $5 for a loaf of bread is expensive. A branded one would be about $2-2.50. I just go a reduction time and get a loaf for like 10 cents!
The difference in eggs is simply cos they are treated differently here. Yours are probably washed in bleach solution or something which does something to the shell so it has to be refrigerated I think.
i live in australia never seen a bank in the supermark
Then you REALLY wouldn't like Guinness eh?
I'm very Irish, and from Boston!
Give Leinenkugel's sunset wheat a try, it taste like fruity pebbles.
I check out alot of dealers,like gateway,vangaurd,etc and they have nice cars,but you know something because of you being honest I would rather buy a car from you if I had the money.I like that t-bird in this video there was not many made and the best thing is it shares the fox platform which means you can use mustang parts on it
Je bent Nederlands?
Zo te zien is het prijspeil hoger dan in Nederland. (brood bier eieren)
-------------------------------------
It seems that basic products (bread beer eggs) are more expensive in the USA.
ye, in Poland for bread we pay about 0.50$ and for beer about 1$
In the mid-70's, I worked in a supermarket (until I quit after 2 days), where we actually stamped the prices on each individual can/bottle/bag, etc. Imagine that?! Days of the dinosaur.
Yeah some small family owned markets still do that in my country I always like the nostalgia and cuteness of that
They don't refrigerate eggs in Netherlands? Weird, we do here in Central Europe.
+Filip Cvrček No, it's quite uncommon in most European countries. In Germany we also don't refrigerate our eggs. In America they wash the eggs, so they loose their natural protection, that's the reason why eggs in the U.S. have to be refrigerated.
+Sebastian Urbas We dont wash them but still refrigerate them, so do poles, slovaks, hungarians all the way to croatia.
We don't refrigerate eggs in Italy either!!!!
Hi Sebastian Thank You for paying attention. As Americans It seams as we don't care how we dress, But we all do . Every time we go out to a grocery store or shopping mall etc etc We know were trend setters for most of the enlightened Country's of the World. Every Day I get two or three comments (from foreigners about my style of dress) common I have to get the exact change for the bus most of the time I can't give directions to the good will store. Thank You again, By the By what's a nick name for Sebastian?
ياربي سبحانك تعطي ملكك لمن تشاء ماشاء الله
حكاية قلم p
Moldy cheese is actually ok because its a safe type and its tasty like sorta bitter and idk but don't diss the french its their cheeses we import
Maybe it's because I'm in North Carolina, but I have never heard of this store before. According to the internet, they don't have one in North Carolina.
Thanks so much
Damn, I almost forgot about the tax that isn't shown. I'm really confused as to why they do that in the US.
+RingSight91 Taxes in most European countries aren'T nationalized. For example every municipality in Germany has it's own commercial tax. Grocery prices at large retailers differ normally from store to store. The price tags are already different in different stores (at least for groceries). Today there isn't an excuse for not including the VAT into the price.
*****
In my opinion it wouldn't be a problem for retailers in the U.S. to include the sales tax into the price tag. Every store has different operating costs and the retailer will adjust their prices to cover the costs. Therefore there is no plausible reason for not including the tax into the price tag. Normally every store adjust their prices to the local competition. They can just include the tax into the price tag.
You are certainly right when it comes to goods like clothing or other products where the price tag is already attached to the product at the HQ of the company.
*****
It's indeed difficult for clothing and other products where the price tag is attached to the product.
But it would be very easy for groceries. Normally each branch prints it's own price tags. I would be very strange if the Walmart HQ prints all the price tags and then send them via snail-mail to the stores. In grocery retailing electronic price tags are widespread these days. They can be changed within a few seconds.
*****
The price tags that you can see on the shelves are printed in the store:
www.internationalpointofsale.com/images/rmsbundle/zebraprinter.jpg
The shop assistant walk with a bunch of price tags through the store and replace old price tags on the shelves. Of course he don't walk with the price tag printer through the store.
And individually tagged products with stickers was the technique 30 years ago.
It really doesn't make sense to ship the price tags from the next regional distribution center. What if they lose a few price tags? Will a shop asstistant then drive a few hundred miles to the distribution center to get new price tags?
What if the store manager want to lower the price of some produce products, because they have to many in stock?
Are you dutch or something? if not, do you like the netherlands?
Cereal Marshmallows Really? haha, i love America, if you go to the Netherlands again, visit Rotterdam, its beautiful. i live there!
18pack Miller Genuine Draft $11.99 Phx .Az. 6 Pk Guiness Bottle $5.99 Dozen Large eggs $1.29...1 pound strawberries $0.99 cents (on sale)reg $1.59 /pound these prices were at Frys supermarket in Phoenix.
I know in Europe, people go to the market more often and I suppose this is in part because Refrigerators in Europe are tiny compared to refrigerators in USA; for example most everyone in my area (the people I know), have refrigerators that are any where from 21 to 28 Cubic feet storage,that also make Ice water filtered, Ice cubes on demand,or crushed ice on demand and on top of that many folks also have a free standing additional freeze. One guy has a second refrigerator (in his garage) that he converted to hold half barrels of beer,even has a tap on the front for draft pours.
+starview1 It's not so common that Europeans shop at markets but surely more often than Americans. In Germany for example those markets are everywhere, but maybe just 1% of the food is bought at those markets. Mostly elderly people shop there, because it's more like a social gathering for them.
People in Europe don't eat out that much, so they buy a lot more food at grocery stores than Americans do. The density of grocery stores in Europe is much higher than in the U.S. Tiny Germany for example has about 28,000 grocery stores, compared to about 37,000 grocery stores in the whole of the U.S. Most Germans can easily walk in less than 10 minutes to a grocery store. That makes grocery shopping very convenient. Some people do a weekly shopping trip, but it's more common to shop groceries almost daily. People don't like salad or bread that is more than 2 days old. Many people also want fresh milk and not over processed milk. I live in a bigger city and I have 4 grocery stores in a circle of just 500 meters. For me it doesn't make sense to use the car to get to the grocery store. Grocery stores are also often located directly near the tram or bus stop. At least in Germany most grocery stores are much smaller than in the U.S. so it's easy to be in and out in just 10 minutes.
It's true that most people in Europe use smaller refrigerators. Because there is really no need for bigger refrigerators. Those huge refrigerators would be less than half filled in most European households. And those huge refrigerators often destroy the look of a kitchen because it's more difficult to hide those huge refrigerators behind the kitchen fronts. Your assumption is wrong because you thougt Europeans can't afford huge refrigerators so they need to shop more often, because they don't have enough cooling space. This mindset is so typically for Americans, and sorry but it's so arrogant.
In Germany people usually have a second refrigerator and a freezer in the basement. Many people also have a party room with a bar and a cooled beer pump in the basement.
Sebastian Urbas never said folks in Europe can't afford anything,I would never say that. What I am saying,,as you say (in part) is there are fewer open markets in USA, in part because local health departments with strict government oversight, plus there just aren't a lot of small market farms in the USA, anymore. By the way you are watching too much hollywood, , in fact Americans are not arrogant,what I'm talking about, is relative to The United States of America (which is significantly different from Europe) and that's ok, as Europe is Europe and The United States is The United States. At the same time I hear what you are saying, more clearly than you might imagine as I have a number of good buddies in Germany, where when we get the chance to get together and talk (over 10 or 12 beers) this conversation occasionally... shows up, at the end of the day we enjoy the differences, it is what it is!..."“Ein Prosit” to all of us.
+starview1 I don't watch TV that much and I would never think that Hollywood movies gives a proper picture of America. Most Americans I met were really nice, funny and friendly. But there are also those Americans who thinks they have to show me what a microwave looks like and how it works. Or they say I must be delighted to be in an American grocery store (it was in a Market Basket store in the NE, the store looked awful). Or you can read statements from Americans in the internet like "In Germany they only have Aldi and mom-and-pop shops. Germans know nothing about real grocery stores". Of course that sounds really arrogant. That's so ridiculous, because the grocery store in this video or the Market Basket store I have seen or most other American grocery stores that can be eyed in YT videos look so plain, and carelessly decorated, and lack innovation. The cheese and meat counter are a joke. Entering such stores is like a time travel back to the 80s. I would never complain about American grocery stores when there were not so many Americans that argue that their grocery stores were the envy of the world. I really don't understand why so many Americans think that.
Yeah, we have nice beer here in Düsseldorf, our Altbier. But you aren't allowed to drink Kölsch ;-)
Sebastian Urbas Well, yes I know there are some serious American twits, I should say uninformed twits in the USA as well as in the world, many of them show up on TH-cam for sure. As far a grocery stores ala USA ,sure some look like the Luftwaffe had a direct hit on them, but there are others especially here in Arizona that are boutique like grocery stores,with chiefs, guides, and health directors. So sure just like everything else in USA it varies from place to place. Like forget about good sausage in Arizona, but in Wisconsin, Iowa, Nebraska they've got the "good Stuff" so to speak. The thing about the United States is that it is Enormous when compared to Europe, and shops,people and style vary as you move around in the United States. That Microwave thing you mentioned is really odd to me, You must have run across some real screwballs.lol
+Sebastian Urbas You mention arrogance of Americans and then continue to degrade Americans and generalize and stereotype. I don't think starview1 ever said Americans, or their grocery stores, were the "envy of the world". I lived in Berlin for 8 months in 2013 and Mainz for 6 months in 2008, and very much missed American grocery stores and what they offered. It doesn't mean one is better than the other, it's just a reflection of cultural differences and nothing to argue about. BTW a lot of grocery stores DO do their own baking, and if not, there are of course bakeries you can go to.
