Drive, a mile? To a whole hypermarket for eggs? I'd just walk down the 95 meters to the grocery store here to get those missing eggs

Okay, that's still a similar effort. And I don't disagree the preferred approach. The above is absurd though. If anything it describes a more rural experience and still quite exaggerated IMO.

The above is fantasy circle jerk material. Meme better and have a basis of truth. Those are the best memes.

If I didn't have to dox myself for that I'd gladly go out and record my way to the store. Just because you can't have basic necessities over there across the pond it doesn't mean everyone is going out of their way to lie for magic internet points.

Lolol this clearly describes America. You are just rife with salt because you can't accept reality apparently.

Yeah, realistically this hypothetical person just grabbed eggs while they were at the Wawa. Nobody goes on a whole ass Costco run when they were already making dinner just for fucking eggs.

No one is going to supermarket like Costco. Ever heard of corner shops/convenience shops? Those are right next to or on ground floor of apartment buildings.

Honestly? Walking 95 meters to the grocery store is way less effort than getting in the car, putting on your seat belt, starting the car, driving off, and parking.

I lived 300 meters from a small grocery store and a 5 minute drive from a bigger one. I almost never went to the bigger one even though it had a better selection of food.

Maybe 🤷‍♂️

Is it anywhere near the description above?
