Observations in a supermarket

From an Australian perspective, big supermarkets in Mexico:
  • They all sell alcohol. From light beer to Jaegermeister and hard liquor, it's all there for the taking.
  • They all seem to have an in-house bakery and an in-house chemist.
  • Vegetables and fruits are a hit-and-miss affair. Most vegies are better and tastier in Australia.
  • Asian food and ingredients are almost unheard of.
But above everything else - Mexican supermarkets have CHOICE.

There is so much to choose from in a Mexican supermarket - I'd never seen so many varieties of cheese in a supermarket in Sydney - a statement to the pathetic supermarket duopoly in Australia, that has killed off choice, all in the name of profits.
