Is it true that there are no shopping malls in Germany?
You know, a supermarket that gathers a shopping mall with hairdressers, a tobacco shop, a bookstore, a video game store, a beauty shop, a travel agency, a photo agency, clothing stores, a phone store, a perfume shop, a bag store, a shoe store, fast foods, bakeries, specialty stores etc.

No we habe them too
Probably it has something to do with German paranoia and obsession with control. They also banned homeschooling and Google street view and pay only in cash.
But we control Europe now.
No, I have one in my city.
aeon > all
>and pay only in cash
Yeah, I heard that too, it is really stupid. I have never cash on me, because I pay everything with my blue card even if it costs a buck. I must have maximum 5 bucks in my wallet.
is that a black guy on the escalator with a white woman on the left?
>one
All the cities in France even small cities have a shopping mall. All the supermarkets are in a shopping malls. The only supermarkets which aren't in a shopping malls are the little food stores in city centers like Carrefour Market, Super U, Spar, but only the students go there and the single people who live in city centers go there and hard discounts like Lidl and Netto.
cash thing and their scat fetish....
they love dirty
I have shopping malls and I have how the periphery of all our cities, even small ones, are getting uglier and uglier because of all the shops built quickly with only efficiency in mind.
We have them but they are basically extended refugee homes
Europe feels like an alternate dimesension sometimes
It's more practical, for example you go to Auchan to buy your food, then you can go to the high tech store always in the shopping mall to buy a new TV and then you can go to hairdresser to get a new haircut and all that in the same place.
i went to Berlin and there a few but hardly any for how big the city was. Also the cash autism as really weird, it was so nice going to the UK and pay waving a 20p roll.
>Is it true that there are no shopping malls in Germany?
there are some, but they do not dominate the market like in other countries.
I find them quite boring tb.h
Fuck efficiency, it's sucking the soul out of everything, I don't want to become an Amerimutt.
Auchan has a cute logo
wtf i thought france was romantic and magical
why do you have shopping centres/malls
We have always had shopping malls. I thought everybody had them, at least in the West, I was surprised to learn Germany doesn't have them. The first shopping malls appeared in the 60's. Today, everybody goes there except the people who live in city centers, so the students and single people and the old people who live in villages of less than 5k people, and even they go to shopping malls sometimes.
damn it france
this poster is right
yeah
fuck utilitarism and fuck Trump and homo economicus
>French
>Souls
Choose one
>and then you can go to hairdresser to get a new haircut
>not going to your trusted Kanake to get a new haircut
>Pay only in cash
Based
I do the same in a lovely pedestrian street, but then I can enjoy the rest of my afternoon in a public park, and take a drink in a café instead of having to drive back home from a ugly shopping mall through traffic jam
It's not easy to understand you.
Kanake (also Kanacke or Kanaker) is a derogatory word used in German-speaking countries, especially Germany to mean "wop". Originally common as "Kanakermann" among 19th century mariners to refer to comrades from the South Pacific (and later all of Southeast Asia), and carrying a connotation of praise for their seafaring abilities (see Polynesian navigation), it was in the 1960s transferred with more ambiguous connotations to Southern European immigrants, and is now usually used with an exclusively derogatory connotation against people of Turkish or Middle Eastern ancestry.
I have a mall in my neighbour city and at the weekend it's flooded with dutch "people".
Explain yourselves bikeniggers
In Nantes, 600,000 inhabitants, we have 9 shopping centers. One of them is very large with an Apple Store, an IKEA and a cinema complex.
Where do people shop in border regions? Like if you live near Netherlands/Belgium.France/Germany/Luxembourg borders, is it usually cheaper to shop in one country than another? Are there tax/import duties you're supposed to pay? How often do people cross borders specifically to save money while shopping?
Andorra is tax free.
>How often do people cross borders specifically to save money while shopping?
depends, if you are Swiss, shopping in Italy/ France or Germany is worth the extra miles.
Danish people seem to drive to Germany for beer and alcohol.
i have been in a shopping mall in Berlin, so this can't be true
And Swedes drive to Denmark, Norwegians drive to Sweden
How much does alcohol cost in Norway? Like a pack of a popular beer brand, or a low-end 750ml bottle of wine?
Did you know that france has special erotic bakerys? You go there to buy yourself a special baguette and then stick it deep into your butt or suck on it before eating it. The baguettes come in 2 different forms. Dark bread (30 cm) and white bread (17 cm). It's quintessentially french. Unfortunatly no one in france wants to buy the white bread anymore so most of them don't produce them anymore.
Those crazy frenchmen
Dutch underclass from the border region sometimes buys alcohol in Germany. It’s hardly worth the trip though especially since Germany has a deposit on EVERYTHING meaning you have to bring it back or you might as well have bought it in the Netherlands
You don't have that in Germany ?
Fucking barbarians
I’m sure Germany has it too. These things are mor really shopping malls, more like a cluster of convenience stores. The one I go to only has 3 stores: a supermarket, a factory discounter that has everything ranging from skincare products to bike wheels and a pet store.
People don’t go there to shop or spend their day. They go there to do groceries
What?
Explain yourself france!!!?
France is a lewd country after all
Germans only buy their groceries at the antifa organized eco market
The only places I fruquently visit in Germany are exactly what you described
One half-liter can of tuborg (which I think? is the most popular) is 23,90 plus a 1 NOK recycling deposit which you get back. Pricing by the pack is not allowed because it's a bulk discount, so people break open sixpacks and take individual cans - I almost got in trouble for doing this in the US.
Wine starts around 90-95 NOK for a bottle, but most of that is taxes and charges of different kinds. That number is mostly based on the alcohol content, not the price of the wine, so expensive wines generally cost less in norway than many places abroad, and the really cheap wines you could buy in spain or greece or wherever simply isn't sold. It also includes a "bottle charge" which means that bag-in-box wine is slightly cheaper, but legally, because it isn't a bulk discount
t. drink cheap alcohol
I think not. I've been in several American/Chinese style mega malls in Germany. I think Bayern is probs the only place there I didn't see a mega mall in.
Statistically German/French control of the EU is pretty equal. Peeps like saying Germany/Merkel controls Europe through tax contribution but it doesn't add up. German civil industry (cars, tech, ships etc) just benefits the Germs.
This is accurate
t. guy who had his daily baguette for breakfast this morning
>Statistically German/French control of the EU is pretty equal.
No not at all. The control of the EU institutions might be, but in soft power and all that Germany has a stronger position in most other big economies.
We have erotic butcheries instead, with all the sausage you'd ever desire
Only shit cities have malls.
An example from my region:
Ludwigshafen: ugliest city in the country.
Three malls, two of which are abandoned and only house KIK and T€DI, the newest one is the only refuge in the city from the lovely fart fumes the local chemistry plant pumps out, because of which you couldn't shop at a proper german shopping street without suffocating.
Heidelberg: beautiful city with a beautiful kilometer long shopping street, no malls because 80% of the city center is under monument conservation and you wouldn't even get a building permit for a building that's bigger than 10qm and not exactly 4 stories high like the other buildings that were rebuilt after the 30-year-war. Good luck building a fucking mall with our restrictions.
