Goldwinghai -> RE: Power outage in Spain and Portugal (May 4 2025 1:58:14)

I was in Granada on Monday during that power outage. Scheduled to fly home on Wednesday so I was a little concerned with all the hassles I would have to go through if the power outage continued for another day. Luckily we got power back on some time during the night. But the memorable and admirable thing to me was what a local grocery store, Elemen, did during the outage. They had their employees take turn to walk with the customers, who stood in line at the front door, one by one into the store so the customer could pick out what they wanted to buy. The employees either used a small calculator or app on their phone to keep track of the total. This went on during the evening too. When the shopping was done, customers paid cash at the exit. I was in line twice. Then there was a sad thing. On Tuesday I went to Elemen to buy fruit, I saw a big hole on the front glass window with cracks running all over. The employee told me it happened around midnight.
