What country has those monstrosities? Never seen them
- yurishimo 4y agoThe US has some, usually in the deli/cheese section.[0] It's the big shelf in the center of the image. The freezer section has doors for more effective temperature control. 0: https://www.shutterstock.com/image-photo/austin-texas-circa-march-2017-600w-1094163149.jpg https://www.shutterstock.com/image-photo/austin-texas-circa-...
- fyhn 4y agoFairly common in Norway
- pdw 4y agoIf you do a google image search for "supermarket fridge", half of the results are doorless.
- Sakos 4y agoDoesn't really answer the question.
- dools 4y agoAll the meat and dairy, and some vegetables are in completely open refrigerators in most Australian supermarkets, although they’re also air conditioned so any loss of cold air is just more air conditioning really
- dijit 4y agoUK has them. Like on this picture: https://www.grocerygazette.co.uk/2021/11/09/supermarket-fridge-greener/ https://www.grocerygazette.co.uk/2021/11/09/supermarket-frid...
- yourusername 4y agoWe used to have those in the Netherlands before there was any attention paid to energy savings (~15 years ago). Freezers also used to be just open without any coverings. Budget supermarkets like Lidl and Aldi were the first to introduce both sliding glass doors on the freezers and doors on the standing fridges.
- pawelk 4y agoInteresting. Lidl and Aldi in Poland (at least the ones nearby) have doorless fridges.
- londons_explore 4y agoPoland has cheaper electricity, so there is less incentive for savings.

- Semaphor 4y agoAdding to all the other comments: They used to be common in Germany as well, though I haven’t seen any for many years now.

- sdfjkl 4y agoThey're very common here in Europe. Although when shops get remodeled they usually are replaced with newer models that have doors (and now doors that close themselves, because people). Seems the energy costs have risen sufficiently to make them care.
- goodpoint 4y ago> They're very common here in Europe Nonsense. Europe is a big place and making sweeping generalizations is not meaningful.
- sam_lowry_ 4y agoEurope is big. I saw them in an Italian Coop recently, but they are indeed more of an exception than a norm in recently upgraded stores.
- goodpoint 4y agoLOL, downvoted to -4 for pointing out Europe is diverse.
- unmole 4y agoCommon in higher-end stores in India.
