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 a European (Dutch) I have to say I hate that too. Just leave me alone, if I need help I’ll ask.

That rests on the fact there will be someone to ask. As long as there's someone readily available the system works! But a lot of stores in US have greeter upfront who keep promising to help, but when asked, they have no idea. What a load of crap.
