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.
NYC. I walk a round trip of 3k for groceries twice a week. Not unusual to walk 5k per day.
right, but OP is 3k away, so 6k round trip just for the grocery store … is that typical?
3k is just under 2 miles. That’s not that far. That’s about what I walked here in the US before moving to a larger city where there’s a grocery store right across the street.
