During the Soviet Union years, tourists to it knew that the thing to do was pack blue jeans in their luggage, which were highly desirable under communism. Wearing blue jeans in the USSR was a mark of status.

This German supermarket system has strong compettion , low margins but it is cheap and reliably good quality what most German wish.
So I disagree.
