Unfortunately, some of the practices adopted during these periods of confinement, long before the current inflation, are not transformed into habits . Will it be the same in the behaviors adopted today by distributors and consumers?In recent months, a new form of commerce has developed in Paris and in most major French cities: “quick commerce”.
