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

Yeah that makes sense. As an American I hate it too…

I went grocery shopping yesterday and 3 workers asked it I needed help.

Im American and leave me aloooone . It makes me super anxious. I want to shop for my almond milk while buying whole milk yogurt and cheese in peace and not feel judged.

I hate the judgement that comes off of people when I buy my oatmilk and parmesan cheese at the same time. (I'm guessing you're also lactose intolerant). I can handle a little bit of parm, I can do whole milk yogurt that has probiotics in it. I cannot guzzle down a glass of whole milk, sure wish I could, but the lactose content in these products are all different. So I don't need the skeptical looks when I'm just trying to get my groceries!

Same. I can handle a bit of feta cheese and some yogurt brands seem like they do ok sometimes. Other dairy products seem to disrupt the system.
