You don't want to know exactly what's going on in this Edeka: A job advertisement that makes the rounds on Twitter makes observers shudder.

Update from September 20th, 2022:

Edeka has now commented on the job advertisement.

At the request of

, Edeka spokeswoman Kerstin Holla said that branch manager Mr. Gebhardt did not want to criticize or discriminate against anyone with his ad.

He wanted "to draw attention with a wink," as the rep wrote.

Despite the text, the number of applications is said to have been significantly higher than with standard texts, Holla explained to

Incredible job advertisement at Edeka: "You're not completely screwed up?"

First report from September 14th:

Munich/Detmold – There are ads that leave you speechless.

Personal ads are undoubtedly often part of it.

The special preferences some people have when looking for their better half may still make you smile.

But what a job advertisement from the supermarket chain Edeka in Detmold (Lippe district in North Rhine-Westphalia) reveals about the working conditions in the branch sounds worrying (at Edeka, a customer found an unusual difference on the price tag of a product).

A Twitter user discovered this in the newspaper "Lippe aktuell".

Edeka Gebhardt is looking for a full-time employee.

Even with the more precise description of the gender, one becomes suspicious: "(m/f/d/ ... etc. etc.)

Incredible Edeka job advertisement: "Are you able to make a sandwich in the morning?"

But the real bang is yet to come.

In the first bullet point, the ad asks: "Are you not completely screwed up?" It continues in this style: "You can tell a crate of beer from a crate of water?" lubricate?"

Other questions suggest that the bosses of this Edeka don't think much of an appreciative working atmosphere: "You don't have to celebrate sick for a week with the slightest scratch in your throat?" or "You can imagine working five times a week without immediately suffering from burnout to get sick?”

Other "highlights": "You can read the clock and say 'Hello' and 'Goodbye' in a friendly way?" and "You don't have to write a WhatsApp or check Insta every three minutes?" communicate in German?”

"You are submissive, like to be exploited and ridiculed?"

The Twitter user who found the ad made fun of the fact that the German language does not always apply to the operator of the Edeka either.

He or she writes: "You are submissive, like to be exploited and ridiculed?

Do you like employers with spelling difficulties?

You despise modern employment law and like to infect colleagues and customers?

Then apply to Edeka Gebhardt in Detmold.”

It is highly doubtful that anyone in the branch will really start with this, and we definitely do not wish that person.

The price dispute between Edeka and Coca-Cola escalates.

Now the matter has even landed before the Kadi.

Now the district court of Hamburg has decided - to the displeasure of Coca-Cola.
