You are spectacularly missing the point. Not everyone lives easy distance from a bakery. Not everyone wants to spend the spare time on a trip exclusively for bread, when they can get bread at any grocery store.

Other people lives different lives from you, basically.

Here in Europe we have the opposite problem. Every single business is a bakery. The bakers are the ruling class in society. There is nothing to eat but bread and pastries and since cars are illegal we proles must walk between bakeries all day doing humiliating tricks in exchange for artisanal bread. The entire continent is ruled by the Konditor, the supreme baker and immortal God-King.

If you get caught even thinking about white bread you are broken on a wheel in a public square.

In my town there's a few notable bakeries and they all have deals with local supermarkets so their product is available for people who want proper fresh bread with supermarket convenience. Fishmongers do the same thing. If you go to the bakery itself you get the stuff even cheaper and anything not made that morning is on clearance by default, but most product still gets sold through a retail channel. One is an extremely popular lunch site for maintenance workers since when you start work at 4am they're the only place who'll have a lunch service ready by 7. And their sandwiches are the best I've ever had anywhere.

Yeah I loving grew up in suburban Texas. Most of the bakeries around there only sell cakes, cupcakes, cookies, etc. Even ones near the city sell maybe like 3 types of bread. Haven’t been to any fancy bougie ones though :shrug:

Yeah, I live quite near the center of Houston, and the bakeries I know of are just sweet shops. If there are any regular bread bakeries, I'd probably have to drive past at least a Fiesta, Target, and Kroger to get to them.

Also, I'd like to amend my previous statement, it's not just gay manga set in bakeries. There's so many comics about a person of either gender leaving their old life behind to go work in a bakery and then falling in love with and loving the head baker. I wouldn't have thought that was a stock romance plot, but I see the appeal.

I live in a town of 25k. The nearest bakery is more than 30 minutes away. In my hometown halfway across the US, we had 3 bakeries owned by a single family but they all closed down (50k people).

Walmart or Kroger bakery bread is marginally better than the bagged stuff.

I had one of these in the town I grew up in in Connecticut. It was actually pretty good quality bread that sells for $4 or $5 in the grocery store but they sold their overproduction/imperfect loaves for like $2 in their own store.

I'm catching up on the thread, and this is like 3 pages back now, but I grew up in CT too and didn't have one in my town, but had vague memories of going to some bread store that had an outlet store vibe. What was the name of the one in your town? I feel like I have the name on the tip of my tongue but can't place it.
