I blindly grabbed these off a supermarket shelf thinking they were pickled onions for my cheese n pickled onion sarnies, but then on closer inspection found out they're pear balls, LOL.

@rachloxton.bsky.social fyi - I only discovered this recently.

They walked over to a newly Thursday stocked shelf and simply grabbed the item and handed it over to me.

No delivery packaging.

Happened on a few occassions now. So no difference to waiting til they restock shelves anyway.

Stores like electronics, dept stores still typically get one big delivery per week on Thursday morning. This ensures stock is available for main Fri/Sat trading days. If you order online click + collect on Friday, you'll likely be waiting til following Thursday.

Home delivery = immediate dispatch

Tip for Germany: If you are doing click + collect for e.g MediaMarkt / Saturn
cos their product is out of stock instore tho allocated shelf-space for it, you will NOT get it any quicker than waiting for their big Thursday delivery

If you need it faster, order home delivery

Remember when Trump waged a tariff war on all countries which are allies of the US?

Remember when Trump waged war on nationals of those ally countries who were just visiting the US as a tourist, and got slung in an ICE detention camp the moment they landed?

Allies right now...

I absolutely love it Kathy when you talk about TV shows. More. More. More, please!

Seriously, you should pitch to do DVD extras (well streaming) commentary tracks on all major shows and movies. I'd join a streamer just for THAT alone. It'd be fucking hilarious :-)

If you need me, I’ll be sitting down with a bucket of popcorn binging this docu-series. Stay tuned! Until then, go watch this week’s episode of Kathy Griffin: Talk Your Head Off, out now on my YouTube!

Do you need travel insurance for the EU if you live in Germany? If you’re a legal resident in Germany and plan to travel to other European Union countries, it’s worth understanding what you are – and are not – covered for when things go wrong abroad.

Well put:
