News from the series of bizarre supermarket signs: A hint from an Edeka branch, which is apparently known in the city, is now also occupying viewers beyond that.
Oldenburg – Signs in supermarkets. You could fill entire books with it. Just a small selection: A Rewe note pointed out a "special function". An absurd-looking note on Aldi shopping carts is probably justified. And the same applies to a very exclamation-marked sign that points out that you should never, never, never put a certain drink on the checkout belt.
Reddit user shares photo that probably comes from Edeka store in Oldenburg
Also not sparing with exclamation marks, which can now be seen in a photo on Reddit. The picture was apparently taken at the end of a supermarket checkout belt. "!!! STOP!!!" the note begins. It continues in capital letters: "Please place baskets in front. Thank you."
Up to this point, the sign is at most semi-spectacular. What makes it bizarre, however, is the handwritten addition. "Here's in the back," it reads, whether supplemented by an employee or by a customer remains unclear. In any case, there is a sign behind the checkout belt that shopping baskets should be placed in front of the checkout belt – including a note that you are at the back and somewhere else at the front. There must have been one or two misunderstandings. And the poor supermarket employees had to remove the baskets from the wrong spot again and again.

Edeka sign seems to be well-known in Oldenburg
In any case, the photo on Reddit gets dozens of reactions via up-/downvote. And the astonishing thing is that another user recognizes it. "Edeka in Oldenburg?!" he asks. And he's right: "Exactly," confirms the thread creator with a thumbs up. In other words, the sign is apparently well-known in Oldenburg! And is now also causing a stir nationwide.
"Please put the sign forward, thank you," jokes one user. And another draws his gaze from the sign and remarks: Pretty dirty there. And actually, in his opinion, something else should be on the list. "!! STOP!! Please mop the floor!" he suggests. "I wouldn't want to shop there," agrees another. Deposit vouchers also cause a stir on Reddit – is this one a record? (lin)
