      Does it actually matter what the names of the stores are? From context, I know you know they’re chain stores, as opposed to “mom and pops” regardless of location, and more or less what they sell.

      Do you expect me to know what country you’re from and tell you the stores near me are actually the stores near you?

      I don’t live near a Tesco, or a Tim Horton’s, yet if I didn’t know what those were and you put them in a post about places you’re forced to buy food, as opposed to the small shops you wish you had, I could safely assume they were grocery stores.

      Stop making “US Defaultism” an issue where it isn’t. It is real, and this isn’t it. I am a person describing my experiences and I happen to live in the United States. Why on earth would I write about how inconvenienced I am by a brick-and-mortar chain electronics store in Germany?
