I was talking to a friend and complaining that the nearest grocery store is 3km from me, he says that Europeans consider that a reasonable distance to the store and I’m just being lazy.

I don’t have a car, I don’t have a bike, and the bus only comes by every four hours. Am I being unreasonable for not wanting to carry groceries 3km in 30C weather, or is my friend full of shit? Neither of us have been to Europe.

    My day to day shopping is 600-800m away.

    My specialty store is 1.1km.

    3km is a bit too far for me.

    The most I’ve ever willing walked for groceries is 1.5km
