In a Kaufland branch, a customer discovered a tempting offer for tobacco.
The internet is wondering: is this even legal?
Munich - The usual weekly shopping is not always exciting - many probably find it a boring routine.
Curiosities such as incorrectly labeled goods, price errors or meat that has a face provide variety and amusement.
Now a Kaufland customer has made another original discovery.
Namely on an "I'm offering/I'm looking for" note on the pin board, which is usually near the entrance or the cash desk.
He saw a note hanging there that was addressed "to the people who don't have too much money" (pensioners, Hartz IV recipients).
Large above it was written: "I offer ... tobacco." Was he pricked up because of that?
This is reported by tz.de.
Tobacco offer at Kaufland is aimed “at people who don’t have too much money”
Because the unknown patron offered not just any herb, but "natural tobacco from natural tobacco leaves without tar and without chemicals." The only thing missing is "organic".
The interested reader had to make an effort to be able to decipher the writing, but with patience this also worked.

A DPD customer had no chance of deciphering a message. She publicly asked for advice.
The note-writer entered “HBS” at the location, which could be a reference to Halberstadt.
At least the abbreviation HBS is on the number plates of cars from Halberstadt.
No further information can be found on the note that was shared on Twitter.
It is also not clear whether the tobacco offered at Kaufland is being given away or sold.
Tobacco offer at Kaufland triggers discussion on the Internet
The offer has sparked controversy online.
"I wish the provider that no one ratted him out at the tax office ... Even if 'without tar and chemicals' um, well ... just doesn't work," one user doubts the legality.
"But he or she will probably not build an empire with it," she adds.
Another user hits the same note: "And stated so publicly, okay," she writes.
She wonders if taxes are not to be paid on it.
Another is unsure about selling privately grown tobacco, but then improves.
"There is nothing about 'sell'."

At Edeka, a sign not only made smokers laugh.
A sign at the checkout advertised “tobacco, cigarillos and quickies”.
