Supermarket opening times are definitely not that restrictive (these days, but I don't recall it ever being like you mentioned & I moved to Berlin in 2013). The ones near me are usually open early morning till late evening (8-10pm), monday to saturday.
- myrmidon 2mo agoThere is a lot of regional variation, mainly between the south and the rest of the country. 8am to 8pm monday to saturday is typical for Bavaria (Munich, Nuremberg).
- throw-the-towel 2mo agoThe way you call 8pm "late evening" confirms GP's experience :)
- ido 2mo ago8-10pm for the supermarkets near me & well later than that is night not evening :) It's certainly not 5pm is what I meant.
- annzabelle 2mo agoNot Germany, but I live in a rural part of New Zealand. I noticed that several places in my town, including the chippy, had signs posted out front saying they were open til "late." Coming from the eastern US I assumed that late was at the earliest 11 or 12. Watch my surprise when I try to go get fish and chips at 8:45 and the chippy is already closed.
