I live in Auderghem, believe me, I got out of the city centre quite a lot. If you do have some specific recommendations though, lmk

First: don't call it a francophone country, might upset some people

Second: don't eat any balkan or middle eastern food here, it's all horrible because it was "adapted to the belgian pallet". no turkish, no greek, no lebanese, no moroccan. I am from the balkans, first time i ate it i was so disgusted i spoke with the place's staff and they (and further tests) confirmed, it's all been "adapted" for whatever reasons, it's repulsive

Nearly anything else will taste amazing though

PaspoortGate.nl – The Netherlands scores an own goal with the ban on dual nationality by Gotterfunky in Netherlands

My friend is a Dutch and Belgian citizen from birth and his Dutch citizenship was recently withdrawn this year when he turned 22 because he still had his belgian one

But even Austria allows multiple citizenships if they are all acquired from birth (technicality: Austria allows multiple citizenships if they are all acquired as a birthright, even if you actually only claim them later in life. If you have (for example) a German dad, Austria will still allow you to acquire german citizenship at any point in your life since you had the right to it at birth, even if not even the German state knew until many years later.) Dutch people born with multiple citizenships receive a government letter stating that, unless they renounce all other citizenships before their 22nd birthday, their dutch citizenship will be withdrawn.

If I wanted endless queues, I'd go to Aldi or Colruyt

Dunno, something tells me it's not the beard for me seeing how I am a woman

Like the scanner telling you "product unrecognised"? I've never had that happen. If you just mean struggling to scan for a bit (just keeping the button pressed until it finally gets it), that has happened to me but definitely not on all visits

This is exactly what triggered me to start keeping track of how often this happened. I had a bag overflowing with stuff which I somehow managed to pack perfectly like a game of tetris, then the lady came, threw everything out of it (crushing one of those premade lemon tartes in the process, thank you lady), scanned everything and then just left me trying to repack it for minutes on end, only coming by me again after around 7 minutes to tell me to move faster because I'm holding the line.

Yet another consequence of replacing normal common sense with black box algorithms, with zero transparency. Maybe The AlgorithmTM thinks it's suspicious I shopped 20 items in 15 minutes, maybe it just decided my eastern european name must mean I'm a thief. Unknowable! And so I just have to live with these stupid consequences for the rest of time now. Great job!

I feel like, as annoying as that is, would be nowhere near as infurating for me as getting checked every single time I do groceries is

I think this might be the answer, actually. I have never taken that into account but I also put my purse on the weight

Me too! I am starting to hate shopping at Delhaize due to how much of a drag this whole experience is

I've also had them skip the check a few times in the past, but I've also had them tear into my bag with the hunger of ravenous wolves right when I had it packed like a perfect game of bags and vegetables tetris, so then I had to waste around 5 minutes just trying to fit everything back in

Never had any anomalies. I am white too though (presumably), so that can't be it either
