Normally, I avoid the Carrefour Hypermarket like the plague: it tends to be overcrowded, the shopping carts are too big for the width of the aisles, and even driving there is a hassle. However, today I moved offices, and because the outlets are placed differently from those in my previous digs, I had to buy an extension cord to plug in my Nespresso machine. There would be plenty of other places to purchase such an item, but between 5 and 6 PM, Carrefour is, traffic-wise, the least inconvenient. Imagine my surprise when I saw the parking lot practically empty (plenty of spaces all the way in the back, sorry Ed) and the lines at the cash registers reasonably short! Maybe no one goes there any longer because it’s always too crowded...
