The advantages and disadvantages of shopping at large supermarkets

Supermarkets are enormous building where you can find both easily and quickly the products you need.

There are certainly some advantages of shopping at huge supermarkets. To begin with, they offer you a larger variety of products, so that you have the ability to choose goods which are suitable for you. Moreover you can find cheaper products since they often have special offers. As a result you same money. Furthermore supermarkets are often located out of town so that they offer large parking areas which help you to find a parking space easily. Finally, they are open longer hours than small local shops. This gives you the opportunity to purchase goods whenever you want.

On the other hand a lot of drawbacks can be noticed. First of all big supermarkets service is more impersonal than a small shop?s staff. At local shops the employees are both polite and friendly and you know them well. In addition, large supermarkets are usually crowded at weekends, because everybody shops then. As a result you wait in queues for a long time and waste your time. What is more, it is a huge problem if you do not have a car because they are very difficult to reach being out of the town.

All things considered, I firmly believe people should shop at large supermarkets because nowadays is extremely important not only to buy it inexpensive products, but also to have a wide choice of them.
