I was talking to a friend and complaining that the nearest grocery store is 3km from me, he says that Europeans consider that a reasonable distance to the store and I’m just being lazy.
I don’t have a car, I don’t have a bike, and the bus only comes by every four hours. Am I being unreasonable for not wanting to carry groceries 3km in 30C weather, or is my friend full of shit? Neither of us have been to Europe.
I recently moved somewhere a little further from the shops. I can take the bus part of the way but still need to walk around 1km each way, so I’ve invested in a Clax trolley to carry my groceries.
If I was in your situation, I would buy a light, foldable cart, take the bus to the shops, and walk home.
