>Hungarian people are so poor Lidl is the only entertainment they get. Families dress up Sunday in their best clothes just to visit Lidl.

On Sunday mornings, the town stirred slowly. The church bell still rang, but most families didn’t go there anymore. Instead, they put on their pressed shirts, their wedding shoes, whatever looked least worn, and made the pilgrimage down the cracked sidewalks to the Lidl by the main road.

Inside, the fluorescent light hummed over piles of sausages and shrink-wrapped bread. Children ran their hands along the cool glass of the freezer section as if it were a display case in a museum. The parents walked slowly, reverently, stopping at every middle aisle where the weekly specials stood—power tools, polyester coats, plastic toys. They picked them up, weighed them in their hands, imagined ownership for a few moments before putting them back.

In the checkout line, nobody bought much—some discounted chicken, maybe a loaf of bread, a bottle of sunflower oil. But the ritual mattered. The visit itself was the event, the proof that life could still contain a spectacle.

As they walked home, plastic bags rustling, they carried not just groceries but the faint glow of the only public outing that still gave them the illusion of plenty. In the village, people joked that Budapest had the opera, Vienna had the balls, and they—well, they had Lidl on Sunday.

of course
nothing weird about being an alcoholic

Sunday was the only day that felt different. Men shaved, mothers ironed the one good shirt left in the wardrobe, children were scolded into silence and neatness. Then the family walked together, past the cracked plaster houses and the closed factory gates, toward the only building that still seemed alive: Lidl.

The sliding doors opened like a stage curtain. Inside, the bright lights were cruel but at least they promised something. A little boy stopped in front of the fruit display, staring at the oranges piled high, as if abundance itself could be inhaled. His mother tugged his sleeve and reminded him not to touch—those were not for them, only for looking.

Fathers drifted to the tools in the middle aisle, holding a drill for a few seconds, feeling the weight of what they could never buy. Mothers paused at the clothes rack, rubbing the fabric between finger and thumb, then setting it back with the quiet shame of knowing a week’s wages would vanish in an instant.

At the register they bought bread, milk, the cheapest sausage, maybe a packet of biscuits for the children if the electricity bill had already been paid. The bags were light, but heavy enough to dig red marks into their fingers as they carried them home.

On the way back, they did not talk much. The street was silent except for plastic rustling in the wind. Sunday was over, and so was the brief illusion that life might offer more than bare survival.

Cute vampire teeth.

People joke about the brits having shit teeth, but it's the Hungarians who can't afford proper dental care.

Does her nametag say "Fanni"?

>>214144111
Yeah, she is a funny girl.

For me, it's the McChicken. The best fast food sandwich. I even ask for extra McChicken sauce packets and the staff is so friendly and more than willing to oblige.

One time I asked for McChicken sauce packets and they gave me three. I said, "Wow, three for free!" and the nice friendly McDonald's worker laughed and said, "I'm going to call you 3-for-free!".

Now the staff greets me with "hey it's 3-for-free!" and ALWAYS give me three packets. It's such a fun and cool atmosphere at my local McDonald's restaurant, I go there at least 3 times a week for lunch and a large iced coffee with milk instead of cream, 1-2 times for breakfast on the weekend, and maybe once for dinner when I'm in a rush but want a great meal that is affordable, fast, and can match my daily nutritional needs.

I even dip my fries in McChicken sauce, it's delicious! What a great restaurant.
