Big (grocery) shopping day today. Nothing too crazy or out there, but I did have one thought on my mind, and I feel like that would be an interesting thing to look into.

Why is it that some countries have those bread slicing machines in grocery stores that people can freely use themselves?

I know that Norway has them, that’s where I first encountered them. I know that Ireland has them as well according to various Irish podcasters.

But why do other countries, especially the ones that are known for their bread, quality and variety wise. Why do they not have them?

It can’t be because “They know how to slice their bread” or “They don’t eat as much sliced bread”.

Why?
