Imagine dragging a fully armoured knight from the year 1320 directly into a modern supermarket at 8pm on a Tuesday

What breaks their brain first

The automatic doors probably already look like dark magic, but then they discover entire aisles dedicated to breakfast cereal and twenty seven types of bottled water while everyone calmly ignores each other under fluorescent lighting

Personally I think self checkout machines would finish them off completely because even modern people still end up fighting those things

Tracey

The idea that ordinary people casually own spices from across the world would probably look absurdly luxurious to them

BankHolidayBlues87

A knight watching someone angrily scan reduced garlic bread at self checkout would think civilisation peaked strangely

ShadowPilot

They would absolutely believe supermarkets were some kind of royal food vault

Falcon

The freezer aisle alone would probably cause a spiritual crisis
I read every reply. Even the bad ones.

Imagine trying to explain meal deals to someone from the 1300s
