The one notable difference between the grocery stores in Lithuania and Canada, that my wife immediately pointed out when she first walked into a Canadian grocery store was that the cashiers were all standing up! That was crazy to her and seemed inhumane to force the workers to stand all day. She is used to it now, but I remember thinking how odd it was that the cashiers all had chairs the first time I visited lithuania. Just another example of something that seems completely strange, from both points of view based on there background and experiences.
You can just borrow the loyalty card from someone at the checkout. People do this all the time when they forget to bring theirs. The cashiers don't mind at all and will even tell you to ask the person behind you.
I find that the gorcery store chain that tends to have (more often than not) Lithuanian souvenirs, is Maxima - usually a small section with a few shirts, hats, ect with Lietuva or at least the Lithuanian flag on them - that's where I've bought a lot of souvenirs in the past - cool video!
Maybe you can tour Maxima. I prefer to shop there. Also Maxima tends to have a small souvenir section. But Rimi has one too, maybe you've missed it. Cause if Rimi stores in Šiauliai have a souvenir section they will definitely have it in Vilnius.
I do find the Rimi app to be very convenient to use my loyalty card by scanning a QR code, or finding out information about a product. Way easier to reed the ingredient list then on the packaging.
it isn't all too common to see souvenirs in super markets. in a big city they'd probably be some gift shops and in a smaller town they'd be in a market edit: the tree cake (šakotis) is more of birthday treat, i'd say. if somebody doesn't want cake for their birthday, they'll most likely get some pizza and a tree cake edit 2: for the discounts, you only need to call a cashier if you are at a self check out. if you're stading in line, the cashier will automatically count up the discount

Discount food clearance in supermakert is also my favorite place - we call it "laimės šulinys" something like a wishing well :)

OMG!
I'm for keeping his and wife's faces secret. But that's just my opinion.

Rimi tend to have them almost everywhere.
Thanks for the video, it was very interesting!
Well in rimi is based on norwegian Rimi Hagen.
This supermarket didn't radicalize me like Tucker Carlson but it's still Intresting nonetheless.
Jesus, Rimi is probably 1st or 2nd most expensive supermarket chain in Lithuania🤢
It really depends on the specific items...
1st and least turnover
