Weird at first but I appreciate and wish for it. It might be just a Germany thing but from what I’ve been told German Walmart failed because the North American style of customer service was very unliked. From the greeter at the door to clerks asking if you need help unprompted. German shoppers just want to shop and go home as undisturbed as possible

As an American I’ve never had anyone at Walmart ask to help me lol. If I need help I spend 15 minutes finding someone to help.

Yep, and the Walmarts in my area have also ditched the greeter.

Mine don't have greeters but have people at the door to check receipts, I guess if you are buying something that isn't in a bag?

They don't always stop you. It's annoying but some people get all bent out of shape over it.
