Maundy Thursday, 18 clock. I have deliberately chosen this time to shop as the German in itself at this time like to take his supper to him. So I steer so at my local REWE-Market and turn right around again: The parking lot is packed - sometimes the cars are already in 2nd Series.
lot I do not really need - the day before I ran out of butter, ham, and also for the next day I need a little sour cream. So I park on a side street and walk into the horror: bad-tempered panic buyers push their cart filled to bursting through the crowded aisles. To see the refrigerated section of the butter, you must do it for the first time. I feel in the wrong movie. If a crisis erupts? Somewhere a nuclear bomb detonated? Bin Laden has had large bomb the camp of the REWE stores?
much time for a selection of products I did not. As soon as I am finally within reach of the desired food I already feel restless whispering behind me. Greedy hands are already reaching for the packaged sausage slices of pork unfortunate - yes, the panic buyers know exactly what he wants, who does not need to consider. Probably he has written since his long shopping list in the morning - and it is now to work with determination.
sour cream, sour cream, I find no sour cream. Next to me a peer Lord, who is also dismayed scans the empty shelf space and ultimately puts his index finger on the label: ". Here was the sour cream but there's not, it all away!". I sense a kindred spirit: "I suppose you wanted to make any major purchase, right?" He anxiously looks around as he suspected eavesdropping ears, he whispered to me: "They're crazy here before each holiday the same - it is bought, as if there were nothing to eat for weeks my wife works.. as the cheese seller at a market that has just called me that they now had the highest sales day of the year. Have a look at the shopping cart. "
And in fact, it is hardly conceivable that these tons are consumed in foods only at tomorrow's Good Friday. At the checkout queues. I have to pay only 3 things (took place sour cream I then just crème fraîche), but bide my doing, of course, no one. It's war, because everyone thinks the first time only of himself. Who knows when the shops open again? While I am sure that the already tomorrow be the case again is, but I am equally certain that the game then starts again: For dann muss man ja sogar 2 einkaufsfreie Ostertage überbrücken. Es empfiehlt sich also, den PKW zuhause zu lassen und einen 7-Tonner zu mieten, um die Einkäufe komplett nach Hause bringen zu können. Sicher ist sicher.
