Open 'til Midnight

Folks, this is major: My neighborhood grocery store is now open until midnight, Monday through Saturday, starting immediately.

I'm not even kidding, unfortunately, about the major-news-ness of this. When I first saw the sign outside the entrance, my jaw dropped open and I said "Whoa" to myself, out loud, an embarrassing number of times.

German stores are not big on being open at convenient times. (Or on Sundays, ever, but don't even get me started on that.) That this grocery store was open until 10 p.m. already seemed like a pretty big and exciting deal. And now...midnight? The perks of living in a city of 3.5 million! (But still no Sundays.)
