Buying non-essentials the French way
My local French garden centre has come up with an interesting variant on "click&collect". Garden centres are allowed to open to sell essentials, presumably in case you have an urgent need to prune or kill something. This includes barbecue accessories though not, oddly, the barbecues themselves.
All the 'essentials' are on open sale, but the aisles with the deemed non-essential tat that such places also sell, such as candles, kitchenware, Christmas decor etc. are taped off. They do, however, all have a sign saying "if you see something you want, please do not take it. Order it from one of the sales staff, and it will be available for you to collect at the desk. Credit card payment only".
