“No one packs your luggage”

Different countries, different customs – this also applies to your weekly grocery shopping. In the USA, for example, it is common not to have to pack your own groceries. The employee does this after leaving.

This is difficult to imagine for some Swiss. “Wait, do they still pack groceries for you in the USA?” one Tiktok user wrote.

However, for an American influencer, this is par for the course. So she was surprised after her first trip to the barn.

“I learned something new,” she announced on TikTok. This was her first time making a large purchase in Switzerland. According to her, she discovered something amazing.

So you are supposed to pay for the shopping cart. “Don't try to pull the car out,” says the American. this is not working. Because she did not carry coin with her, she had to use a shopping cart.

There was another shock at the checkout: No one had packed groceries for her. You must do it yourself. “Nobody says you have to do it yourself,” the influencer says.

The entire class had to wait until she finished packing her groceries. “I have never felt like such a stupid American in my life,” the expatriate said. She is already afraid to go to the cooperative again.

Plus everything is very expensive. “Thirteen francs for a wine opener? Excuse me?” she says.

There are tips for beginners in the comments. “Dear, there are also cheaper stores, like Lidl and Aldi,” one user wrote.

She clearly liked this recommendation. “I went to Lidl, it was so much better!” she says in another TikTok. I found out that you can get a refund for your shopping cart.
