Aircon in the Supermarket

My husband and I were doing our grocery shopping in Aldi as we need a lot of food like fresh veggies, milk, peanuts and something for our daily bread.
It was only 21°C today but I was surprised that the supermarket was already using the aircon. I was only wearing a T-shirt, a long skirt and rubber shoes. I really felt cold that I said to my companion to be fast in getting done with shopping as I was freezing.
We have bought what was on the shopping list and a pot of cherry tomato plant which is not on the list.
Grocery shopping today has made me so tired. Now I have a headache and I feel like I will be having a cold. My throat is aching. I don´t like the artificial cooler. It makes me sick. I prefer the real cold of winter than the artificial coldness of the air conditioning.
I have to drink oregano tea as well as lemon tea to fight the coming cold. I don´t want to get sick. I have a walking schedule for tomorrow.
Do you like the coldness of the aircon in the supermarket?
Thanks for reading. I think I will take paracetamol tonight before going to bed. See you later in your discussions.

You made me remember all those times in the hot summer when I walked into a freezing supermarket I could not stay to shop if I did not have a sweater with me.

@RasmaSandra, I need a sweater when going shopping at the grocery store even if it is 90 degrees outside. It is awful.

It was not yet too hot yesterday that was why I didn't bring my coat with me in the shop. I couldn't stay in a shop with aircon for too long. Thanks @RasmaSandra. Have a nice day.

here, i believe supermarkets have lower cool temperature in their thermostat. it is the malls' way to say, there should be no standby around. Filipinos are known for just sitting idly in the cool malls.

@thelme55 just like in Q8. it was burning hot outside while we wait for our transportation, and when we enter the hospital, it was cold because the AC was at its full

@ridingbet That makes the people sick. It is not healthy.

Yes, we are known for that @ridingbet. It is unhealthy to stay in a cold shopping mall and when you go outside, you are hit by the hotness of the weather. I think that is the reason why people are getting sick. Thank you.

I still don´t like too cold aircon. When I am in my home in the Philippines, I only use the lowest temperature of the aircon so I will not be hit by the hot weather outside when I go out of the house.
I already feel better. Thank you @birjudanak

I hope you aren't getting sick. Some places turn up the a/c much too high.

Aircon in stores and movie theaters is normally set to below freezing (in my opinion) makes me uncomfortable half the time.

It makes me uncomfortable, too that I just have to go out as fast as I could when shopping @DocAndersen.

@DocAndersen my reaction is the opposite of what the shop owner wants. I always shop so fast that I mostly forget something because of that cold. Their loss, not mine.

@thelme55 that would seem to me to be the opposite of what the store would want. I figure they want you to walk slowly and realize you need two more things not on the list!

I understand you, it also happens to me to freeze in the store. And then when I go out I experience a temperature shock, it’s primarily not healthy

@LowRiderX just the same with me. I got that headache after that grocery shopping because of the aircon. It was just not a normal cold weather.

@thelme55 Also, I forgot to mention I have a headache from AC, the worst thing for me is when I have to go to the mall, I definitely have to take a headache pill, horror. Thank you. Enjoy your day you too!

@thelme55 That's also to conserve or save cost of energy.

supermarkets use the Aircon to make people stay longer and not feel the need to go out to have some fresh air. they also add some music to calm you down so that you don't get distracted and buy your heart content.

I think that is the case in Asia @jayanth_77. People here would like to go outside and have a tan when hot summer. Grilling themselves at the lake, river or even on their balcony.
