Bread cutting machine goes on strike: sales drops at Tuttlingen bakeries!
The bakery at the Runde Eck in Tuttlingen is currently experiencing significant losses in sales due to a defective device. Gerda Lange, an employee at the bakery, reports that most customers there prefer sliced bread. In fact, around two out of three customers want their bread sliced. When the bread slicer broke down for four days, sales fell by half. This shows how essential the device is to the operation, especially since many older customers have difficulty cutting bread independently and therefore rely on mechanical cutting technology.
The importance of the bread slicer is further emphasized by the habits of customers. Single people often freeze their bread and take it out in slices when they need it. Inge from Backhaus Licht adds that there are differences in preferences between men and women: men tend to have thicker slices of bread, while women often prefer thinner ones.
