MPC In Aosta

27/06/2025: nice! I stopped by by chance this morning (I don't usually go shopping there) .. very kind cashier, always smiling (a short girl with long brown hair and piercings), I'll be back!

27/06/2025: There is a place in the Aosta Valley where gravity falters, and the laws of common sense are put on hold in favor of something more important: the aperitif. A cosmic wormhole that leads to the Orion constellation of Stargate. No, it's not a dream. It's the AV Bar, nestled inside the Conad in Condemine, Sarre — or rather: it's the Conad that's nestled inside the AV Bar! Who cares about shopping after having had a mystical experience of this caliber? You don't go in here. You're summoned. In the morning, the coffee has such a thick cream that you could build a mountain refuge with stilts. But the real magic happens in the afternoon: as soon as you glance at the counter, one of the very good barmaids throws you a spritz like the Olympic torch: either you grab it, or you go home without fame and without glory. Period. No, but let's talk about spritzes. Let's talk about it. The barmaids are so generous with their pours that each glass measures as much as the aquarium you keep in your living room. If I were you, I would call the bar before arriving to ask if they have bunk beds for the night. Forewarned is forearmed! This is why we are fighting to have the Conad sign replaced with a giant 12-meter glass of Spritz. Because, let's face it, no one gives a damn about Conad. People come in there for detergent, but end up with three Spritzes in their bellies and a salami under their arm. That's the reality of the facts ladies and gentlemen. In conclusion: The AV Bar is the best use ever conceived in the history of humanity for a space inside a supermarket. P.S. We contacted the municipality for an urban planning proposal: replace the entire Sarre roundabout with a Spritz fountain! P.P.S. We wanted to thank the barmaids from the bottom of our hearts for forgetting to charge us for our coffees (for two consecutive mornings). We'll tip you before we're done with vacation. Promise!
