Odd sales item

I just find this so odd, selling prayer carpets in a supermarket, I mean, shouldn’t they be sold at a place close to a mosque? I wish I could have gotten the sign better, but there is what looks like a woman’s face as well as a hand touching the carpet in the insets.

It seems strange that such a personal thing as a prayer mat becomes a commodity in a supermarket.

Since religion is so ubiquitous, maybe not so unusual in a supermarket.

surely they are used anywhere and everywhere when a prayer time comes up; I am sure I would find I had left mine behind as often as....well...
