The customers of Edeka supermarket were surprised to find all the shelves empty and only a small number of ‘Made In Germany’ products available on the shelves. This led them to think that maybe the supermarket had not been restocked but they changed their minds when they saw some signs saying,“So empty is a shelf without foreigners,” “This shelf is quite boring without variety,” read another.”
It turned out that the supermarket had decided to sell German food items only, for one day in order to make a point about racism and ethnic diversity. As a result all the foreign items were missing and there were only few things that the shoppers could buy. “Edeka stands for diversity, and we produce a wide range of food in our assortment, which is produced in the different regions of Germany,” said an Edeka spokesman. “But it is together with products from other countries that we create the unique diversity that our customers value.”
By looking at the pictures below we get a fair idea how the supermarket appeared:
