This is mandatory for shops here to have a bulk aisle since 2020, great news! Downside is you sometimes have weevils or moth infestation, and stuff are often more expensive than packaged ones, I guess bescause it needs more manpower and is easier stolen

Nope, here thanks to socialists half of bus pass is covered by employers (mandatory), some people have a car benefit fully paid even gas (but they pay contributions on that benefit), and companies can give tax free money for bikers and carpoolers, thanks to environmentalists.

But you are right, most of people does not have these benefits as it is not mandatory (except for bus pass)
