So, you are judging the entire country based on the practices of shops in the small-ish town you live in?
Apparently it is standard.
Back home in much smaller towns supermarkets stay open till 10 at least

Are you guys often contacted by headhunters? I am never sure if I should answer them or not. Sometimes it seems like they just fish for information and don't really have a serious job offer.
