Shopping in Zurich Airport (“Official off-site location”)
One of the two big supermarket chains in switzerland. They make sure one gets the message! 5 times MIGROS in the subtitle. The middle aisle is blocked for walking in.
Would you expect this ugly functional ceiling in a Zurich supermarket at the airport? Watch out for the camera and smoke detector.
Didn’t they learn from the facebook shitstorm ? No, October is too early for x-mas stuff!!
Never realized those pictures over the products here before.
Two realizations here: (1) I could avoid long queues the next time when checking out. (can scan my stuff myself) (2) ...which makes current employees nervous? No, taking photos is actually not allowed here. Ah, funny feeling, doing something illegal in order to become more creative.
Wow, I can use my credit card for buying a soda. But I have to go through lots of menus (“no, don’t have this bonus card” and so on..) And: Only available in German.
Somehow the “Fine Food Shop Bar” does not fit into the frames. Strange mix of languages font sizes, colors and lightning. Interesting sound in the background (served area) 2x2 businessmen talking about “6 million franks for project X” and “did you know that the same guy is also invested in the secure data storage center deep in the alps”. 2-1 client / clerks relationship, lowest in my whole tour.
Selling “old wine” (=vinegar) in new new plastic bags ... in pseudo old pottery.
Put some value to these special kinds of oils and vinegars: receipts to take away.
Three main languages in Switzerland? Not really, or have they swapped Italian with English in the Ticino now? Simple, functional design of the “shop headline”, they kept the upper windows just empty. Elegant to see the nice lamps through. Best design so far.
Close to the center and lit: How long will I have to wait. Again elegant. Not much traffic.
Best ceiling so far. Very bright shop. Feels a bit too bright actually.
Advertisement for their online shop. Feels very broad, low ceiling, format of a lying book intended? Wooden floor using laminat
Sharp cut font (I) on the biggest sign about in the center when entering
Sharp cut font (II)
Sharp cut font (III), unimpressive ceiling.
No sharp cut font for the categories. Strange (no?) color scheme (red and orange). Lots of empty spaces.
Why would I want to buy plastic animals in a book shop? Lot’s of non-book items due to electronic competition. Ugly price shield- and placement.
Intermezzo: White cleaning angles in the stairway.
Another book store, this time international with many swiss flags. Do they really sell books? You can also buy press articles, salads, sandwiches, cigarettes and beverages including beer. Seems like a kiosk in disguise.
Color scheme encoded in the signet is actually really used in the shop. What is behind this yellow cupboard??
I like this pyramid style. Is it by chance that “THE EXPATS” is sitting on the most attractive place?
Out of here. Famous sausage wagon from Zurich Stadelhofen has a copy here now. The red marquise is taking away quite a bit from the aesthetics though.
Das “Wurstfenster”. (=”Sausage Window”)
Nice icon. But why mirror text on the flag? What is “airstream4u”?
