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.

    Depends how many you’re shopping for. My nearest supermarket is about a kilometre away and if I’m going there I’ll always walk. That’s a grand distance even with a heavy shop.

    I’d do 3 if I was just buying for myself but it’s at the upper limit depending on weight, especially in 30C (I presume dry heat because fuck that shit otherwise).
