@kaworunagisa4009 Well soviet ist like east germany. And there, recycling was a need, there was no way to buy new things. Today this is raising environmental awareness. But it's still in the German soul, cause all the ideas of throwing things away instead of repairing them, just started with globalization in the 90ies, the raise of china. A product made in Germany was always worth repairing, cause it's so expensive. But one made in China, is not.

@kaworunagisa4009 Yes, but solution for this today is flea markets as mentioned, or more digital "ebay". It turns "someone might need it one day" into "someone might need it today".

Do you feel any complains of Germans ? Do they miss anything ? I don't think so. The urge to shop on sundays is quiet low. And many research found, people do not shop more in 7 days than they do in 6 days. Cause there is no additional money. And there is a "live and let live" policy. The shop owner or even his staff is a fellow citizen. You grant them a day off. It would be inhuman, not to do so. As soon as you deal with big companies, this idea is lost, you depersonalize them and want to squeeze the last cent out of these, assumed rich as hell, companies.
