Shopping on Sunday here is nearly impossible. Sometimes I drive to Edeka in the airport, but usually I can buy everything we need on Saturday. This shopping ban has some merit that I can understand.

However after nearly seven years living here yesterday I discovered yet another nuance of this Sunday shopping ban.

Very often on a Sunday a go to a bakery to buy fresh bread. Yesterday I was a bit late and when I entered to the bakery it was 11.15. It should be fine: on Sundays some bakeries are still open until early afternoon.

So I asked if I can buy a loaf of bread and some cookies. The answer was: "yes, here are your cookies, but we are not allowed by law to sell bread after 11AM on Sundays. We will remove it from the shelf at once.." I checked another bakery, and it was the same! Wtf? There should be some reason! If there is already staff employed who sells cakes, why not sell bread too?
