Oh, really? Then I have to retag everyting.

Here in Spain we call "supermarket" a medium-sized self-service store,
while we call "convenience store" a 24/7 (or at least 14/7) small to medium
store where you can buy 25%-150% overprized last-resource goods. In
Spanish, both terms are translations from English, and "convenience store"
is a legal category.

A countryside Spanish "supermarket" will have a fresh grocery counter but meat
will be freezed, while a Spanish "convenience store" will have no grocery
or meat at all. (If you are camping in countryside Spain, you have to wait
for the weekly fish truck if you want fish).

(I think this example will be useful for the cultural difference between
boutique and fashion).
