Shops We Have - Do You Have Them Too?

I’m guessing Australia lacks the type of foliage America has… I wouldn’t have known.

I’m curious… do you think this pandemic has set globalism back a few years??? Currently it sounds like governments can’t get along with themselves. It makes me wonder about how they get along with others at all.

Globalism and Nationalism are classic duals - like Capitalism and Communism. In one system, humans exploit humans - whereas in the other system, it’s the other way around. Same hot beef injection. … :clown_face:

We haven’t got any of those shops and IFAIC they can stay away.
I prefer smaller businesses, but they always disappear when the giants move in.

It’s officially a pandemic now :grin:

I’ve been telling people that all along, Muslims do it and it’s a lot cleaner. Just don’t forget to wash your hands after. :smile:

Yeah but have you seen the apocalyptic movies where they charge the grocery stores for all the food? The never touch the toilet paper!!! If you saw that in a movie it would kill the movie for you because you’d think the director had no idea what people would take in that situation!!! lmao

I thought it was Human brains they were after. If that’s your main food source then starvation is inevitable.
Oh no, that’s the zombies isn’t it? :rofl:

It seems to me that they definitely had no idea what people would take in an emergency :roll_of_toilet_paper: :roll_of_toilet_paper: :roll_of_toilet_paper: :roll_of_toilet_paper: :rofl:

It’s funny, I was wondering if any other country has any Aussie shops where they are.

So many of our fast food type shops I believe are US imports:

Wendy’s
Burger King - here Hungry Jacks
Mc Donald’s
KFC
Subway

Others i’m Not sure about:
Gloria Jeans Coffee
Mrs Fields - cookies - don’t know if they’re still around

Ones I know are Aussie:
Boost Juice

It’s early, can’t think of anymore …

We have those, I never eat there. I think the food is horrible :nauseated_face:

Edit; on second thought, I wouldn’t even call it food.

Woolworth’s was the original “5 and dime” store.
It paved the way for the Wal-Marts and Targets etc. of the modern age. Far from a pharmacy IMO.

They carried a little bit of everything under the sun. From hardware (for the men) to a candy aisle (for the kids) to cooking things (for the women) to food stuffs (for the family) to hunting and cutlery, and more that I’m quite likely forgetting. I also remember that ours had a soda fountain (ice cream bar for those not old enough to remember such things), which unfortunately disappeared (from my local WW’S) in the mid-70’s.

Walmart just stole the premise and ran with it (doubling and tripling the square footage, but lowering the quality and price).

I don’t mind KFC now and again, once a year maybe.
Subway is okay, probably the one we choose it’ll out & about for a day.
McD & Burger King - very, very rarely, I think the last time was 10 years ago :laughing: we got home and were still hungry.

They are tasty, I haven’t come across them where we live now (12 years) so don’t know for sure but they had them in the food court at my old work in the city.
Hard to resist :yum:

Our Kmarts used to have a cafeteria, they closed in the 80’s.
My grandma used to take us there for Hot Chips - a special occasion :tada:
