The central theme of the supermarket is how important it is for a civilization to have at least one supermarket. Also of the varieties that can find, supermarkets big or small, with up to fifteen aisles or two or three aisles, with up to five shelves or with only two.


Another aspect that can not be ignored is the lack of a percentage of the world population that is not satisfied with the supermarkets, they preferred the times when they were talking with the local shopkeeper, but it is unlikely that the days of the local merchant will return, because current supermarkets are very convenient for people with hurry.
