spar visit

Take a good look around the store: what do they sell? Do they offer any services? What (else) happens in this space? What is the atmosphere? How is the store physically organised?

• they sell:

  • food n snacks

  • drinks

  • alcohol

  • nicotine products

Note what time of day/ night you visited, if it was busy or quiet, and reflect on if/how the time of day might affect who goes there and what they buy/do.

• midday » very busy, long till queue

• rather overwhelming

• mostly students buying food for lunch

Finally, reflect on your own presence at Spar: how do you behave in this space? Do you greet the person at the till and/or other students/customers?

• I went in, felt quite overwhelmed by the amount of movement happening etc
