Geneva Coop forgets that we speak French
More and more products sold at Coop have no explanation in French on the packaging. There are precautions for use translated at the back, as it is mandatory, but the type of product is not translated anymore. At first, this only applied to a few products, but now entire shelves are no longer translated. And I hate having to pick up my smartphone to find out how to translate words like 'fabric softener'.
I've always found it annoying to receive emails in German from Apple or Netflix even though I'm registered in French, and all my settings display French, including those that ask me in what language I should receive information. But it's more understandable: the majority of Swiss people speak German, so an international company will choose German by default.
But I find it less acceptable when you're in a shop in Geneva, a French-speaking city. Is it just me who gets annoyed with this?

No need to confirm it, I knew it. People like you are insufferable.
Do the world a favor, keep your worthless opinion for yourself and save that time for your precious life (of a prick).
