On September 12, 2026, a Bilibili netizen posted a video showing them shopping at a mid-to-high-end supermarket in Germany using the hourly wage of an outsourced security guard (approximately €22-24). The video documented purchases including pizza, bread, marinated pork ribs, salmon, steak, buttered toast, 1 liter of whole milk, and two kiwis, totaling €24.85. The video sparked a flurry of comments discussing Germany's purchasing power and recent discussions about the implementation of the two-day weekend.
