Mysteries At Migros
Why is it that checkout chicks here all seem to be obsessed with tying knots in my little plastic bags of fruit and veg, and with putting a piece of sticky tape on my receipt? Sometimes they don't even stick the sticky-taped receipt onto anything else! They just chuck it on my pile of stuff and then it sticks randomly to everything/nothing/itself in my environmentally sustainable cloth bag that I always take with me to the shops. What is the purpose of the sticky tape? Do they think I need it so I can keep the receipt carefully attached to my carton of milk for tax purposes? What's going on?

It's probably something like the "find the whole almond in the rice á la mande (rice pudding) on christmas eve, and get a special prize"... or is that perhaps a relatively danish tradition?
Well that's a happy, celebratory option that potentially makes every trip to the supermarket a nicer event, Nick, but I still suspect it's just because the Swiss are weird and a bit obsessive about things.
