    if i’m feeling restless i’ll just bike 20 minutes to the local egg farm and buy the eggs directly from their little unmanned shop, for a hilariously low price.

    i have a lot of complaints about sweden but god damn stuff like this is nice

      Same here. Living in the boonies in Germany. The shop is a freezer sitting outside under their carport and a tin can for the money. And it works.

        it’s such a good business model, provided you can trust people not to steal

        effectively 0 overhead and people can go there whenever they want, everyone wins except big companies, which means everyone else wins EVEN MORE

        here in sweden we have an app called Swish which makes it trivially easy for anyone with a smartphone to send money to anyone else, so these places will just have a sign with their QR code that you scan and it automatically inputs their account number and the cost of the item. I want to live in a world where this is the standard way to sell things.
