...what? what the fuck are you talking about?
supermarkets can't sell alcohol in America??

>>63889358
Depends on the state. Some allow anything, some allow only below a certain ABV so it's even weaker beer then normal and no hard drinks, and some don't even allow it all and instead you have to go to a dedicated liquor store. There's even some states where there aren't private liquor stores and instead you can only buy alcohol at state run ABCs, pic rel. People don't really grasp the US is more akin to having a 50 member EU then it is to being a singular country with how radically different things can get from place to place.

How different is American Aldi compared to the European one?

We have a lot of miserable asshole christians who think it's their business to tell everyone else what they can and can't do.

>>63889358
Most states allow you to buy beer and wine at supermarkets with few exceptions. Very few states allow supermarkets to carry hard liquor which is why liquor stores exist in the first place. You have to remember when federal prohibition was repealed most states already had their own laws banning alcohol and only gradually lifted their bans. Plenty of counties in the us don’t sell alcohol period especially in Appalachia which is a big reason why moonshine exists.

>>63889370
The bad thing about grocery stores selling liquor is they generally only buy from large suppliers or those willing to cut them a large discount. This means less craft distillery selections to choose from, and as liquor is a huge profit margin for independent liquor stores having to compete with corporate chains is almost impossible especially since so many are right next door to grocery stores. Not saying little stores can't survive in that market just that it's a lot harder.
The good thing about ABC stores is that the selection is often pretty good since all they sell is hard liquor, the prices are pretty good since they're not competing with anyone, and all the profit gets returned to the community. The bad thing is since they're state run they're generally all the same so you're not going to be able to check out different ones for neat craft stuff and they're often spaced out a bit.

Even though large tracts of Europe and many old and famous States have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Lidl and all the odious apparatus of Aldi rule, we shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in the parking lot, we shall fight in the aisles and freezers, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our supermarkets, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight in the bakeries, we shall fight on the loading docks, we shall fight from the fields to the fresh produce, we shall fight in the checkouts, we shall never surrender. And even if, which I do not for a moment believe, Tesco's or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our brother brands beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the Tesco Shipping Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the New World, with all its discounts and value for money, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the Old.

Yes, and there are clashes at every level, even between the major players. Carrefour has absorbed Cora, and Casino is in the process of being dismantled, mainly for the benefit of Les Mousquetaires (like Colryut).

All of that during an all out price war.

>>63889584
yes, they are called "dry counties". I think there's 8 or 9 states that still have some. Some are fully "dry" meaning alcohol can't be sold directly, though restaurant still can serve booze. Some are not fully dry but have restrictions on when you can buy booze (liquor stores being closed on Sunday for example)

Morrisons was great. When I was in UK, the idiots I worked with would go spend like 10-20 bongs on lunch. Meanwhile I'd go to Morrisons, go to their salad bar, grab the Large Box (not the Very Large Box), fill it to the brim with eggz and gainz, go to self-checkout and pay for the Medium Box, because the dumb machine can't tell a difference and Ranjesh is too scared of me to approach me about it.

That's just how Americans are. Idk what you're talking about a "new boss" nobody is forcing you to go into a Walmart. I find that eurotards are all hyper-focused on their one particular tiny region (presumably because Europe was a bunch of loosely unified but practically independent villages for most of its history), and are all still booty blasted from WWII and think smiling should be banned because you shouldn't be allowed to be happy. Despite American nominally being 50 independent entities, there is still an overwhelming national sense of unity in being an American regardless of where you're from originally. On top of that American hasn't suffered horrific wars where people did unspeakable things to each other (muh Indians muh slaves yeah nobody cares we're over it. Finders keepers losers weepers).

Taxes are a necessary evil, but when you have to take up a multi billion credit to pay off a tax, that's just fucked.

>>63890206
I feel like paying 40% every 40 years is still cheaper than investors. Given how much profit they make a year this could well be cheaper by far.
Besides:
>Some business assets can qualify for up to 100% Business Relief from inheritance tax, but eligibility depends on specific criteria. Generally, this relief applies to actively trading businesses, where at least 50% of the business activities involve trading rather than passive investment.
So yeah they can dodge it.

>>63890233
Maybe you should have used some of your profits to plan ahead? It's not like it's entirely unknown that people will eventually die.
And it will prevent the government having to bail out companies like they had to during the coof and such, which was paid for by you, the taxpayer.

Aldi's is so overrated man shit is just as expensive as every other store in my area.

>>63890246
I've found it depends on if they own the building or not. Once they buy out the building it tends to outcompete anything nearby like they did in my area. The only comparible in price for me was Lidl.

Its already been around for a while just that it was usually restricted to the Queen and cars. There were always beer halls but they were usually stuck in student areas in major cities before becoming more popular over the years.

depends on the state. Some states grocery stores can sell any kind of alcohol, other states are restricted to beer and wine. There are very few that don't sell any booze at all.

only in parts third world and america is it socially acceptable to strike up a conversation with a stranger. I've been all over and the US is the only first world country like that.
outside of motels, on the side walk, in the subway, in a restaurant, in line for tickets, some one hears me talking to my gf oh it's foreigners better go talk to them.
the only other places I've been where people are
why do you consider it okay to just walk up to someone and to start bothering them.
It doesn't really bother me because I've been so many times when I was a kid that I got used to it but it freaked my gf out.
Like you are having a nice sunny day and suddenly some negroid or hamplannet wants to tell you their live story.

We've had English and Irish Pubs in Germany for a while, as for the language courses, German should unironically be one of the easiest languages to language to learn for Englishmen (Dutch would be even easier, but has far less native speakers).

>>63890387
You can it just depends on the county or state

are the cashiers in American Aldi allowed to sit? how are the locals taking this rudeness?

I can only speak for the UK but casual chit chat is for older people drunks or ethnics that are normally insulting everyone else.
Striking up a conversation with a stranger can be good fun.

>>63890449
nah Dutch is way harder to learn for non native speakers. But in Germany you will learn German faster because Germany's English isn't as good as here.

Ze Germans Inglish is not as good as that of the Dutch or Scandinavians, but better than that of the French or Italians. Not to mention all those "Native Speakers" like Indians, Americans or Africans the English left all over the world.

in my experience for germans and English level it goes: (actual) boomers speak little English but know the basic words, a lot of gen X (40-50 year olds) have very good English or are fully fluent, and a lot of german zoomers speak that strange Denglish where they throw English words into german sentences with german grammar, but can't actually speak much English

Germany had cultural exports for a long time, including stuff like printed books and social security. Also some of the greatest composers, philosophers, writers, etc. The British monarchy is pretty German, as well.
Bernd das Brot is great.
>>63890548
It depends mostly on the education, there are many boomers with a good grasp. There are also those who had the misfortune of growing up in the SBZ like Merkel. Southerners have some problems with English, but they have problems with proper German as well.
But yeah, Zoomers are pretty bad at it in general.
>>63890551

>>63888449
Bro fuck publix. Only costco and walmart now.

>>63890921
nah. in Walmart that kind of thing is explicitly done by the asset protection team, they almost always where normal clothes so they can follow suspicious people around (and they don't talk to you, they can see from the ten million cameras if you actually stole something).

>>63890994
Gas and beer is now a UK thing. I don't like the idea but it is there.

>>63889370
The pic is kinda wrong about OR, supermarkets can sell wine and strong beer here, and liquor stores are privately owned and run but the state sets pricing on everything.

>>63889422
I guess it depends where you draw the line for what a "supermarket" is. We've got a chain here in the PNW called Bi-Mart that's sort of like a mix of a hardware store and a mini-Costco, and they sell guns and ammo, often the best prices on them around too. Actually they have beer and cigs too so it's the only place I know of where you can get the whole ATF at once.

>>63891024
A lot of stores don’t have designated asset protection teams it’s the regular employees job in many cases.

>>63891269
that's simply not true, virtually all stores have one apart from a few niche outliers. Though as you described, it may just be they have a regular employee filling in for whatever reason even though it's not their original role.

Let's say you have a billion dollar business, and 10 million yearly profits. Then you die of old age, and two years later your son who inherited the business dies in a Kobe style helicopter crash or whatever freak accident that causes an unforeseen death.
Without some kind of scheme to waive an inheritance tax, you literally cannot use the profits to save enough dough to cover two deaths happening in succession.
You are either pretending to be retarded or you literally have no idea there's a difference between wealth, revenue and profit.

I've never been to a supermarket that sold guns (unless you count Walmart as a supermarket), but I did go to a mom & pop store out in the country once that had a half dozen or so long guns for sale and quite a few gas stations that kept boxes of 12-gauge and .30-30 behind the counter next to the cigarettes.

Strictly speaking ABC means that the state functions as the sole wholesaler for products covered under it. In Alabama, for instance, beer and wine are not under ABC control, only hard liquor. However, you can buy hard liquor at non-ABC stores in Alabama, private liquor stores simply have to use ABC as their wholesaler. However there are exceptions based on county and local laws, and some weird workarounds because my local Greers sells hard liquor in a separate room with its own register.

Their meat (beef at least) has water injected into it to increase the weight. I was Aldipilled until I bought steaks from there and had them practically stew themselves when I tried to sear them. I don't even normally buy meat from supermarkets, but made me question what other dodgy tricks they were using to dress mutton as lamb, so I noped out and won't go back.
