I buy less and less

Whatever I buy can be Swiss or French, but I love my Swiss products when I buy them and I enjoy buying in France from time to time. Years ago shops closed at 18.30 in Switzerland and at 19.00 in France. At that time I was working in Geneva and I often left work after 18.00, therefore I was obliged to buy in France. I bought in France by necessity and I enjoyed the French products I bought. I developped my preferences. Now I buy less and less, but I have preferences.

The Swiss have a better system, the French have sometimes better products, but it is so difficult to do justice to everybody.

I could do without Migros more than I could do without Coop. Coop connects, Migros has lost values and is more and more expensive for no better products ... and higher prices ...

(Unkind or not, I hate to say that in my opinion Migros doesn't make the difference anymore ...) and in some cases employees lack the most elementary politeness : Migros Nyon, Champion Divonne, less so in the Coop branches. I imagine they earn less and less and you can't blame them for coping with consumers all day long. Years ago Migros and Coop had about the worst employees anybody could have wanted, but their branches in some of the German speaking areas were excellent in all respects (products, service etc.).

I hate say that I also can't buy anything anymore ...
