@@ChrisTian-rm7zm No, it's not really. What's annoying is if people don't stick to the unwritten rules such as bagging your groceries WHILE I'm scanning, not afterwards (or better: just put them back into the shopping cart). And it's okay if you aren't so fast, but please, at least try to. It's quite frustrating when the line is growing crazy so that I have to call a collegue to open another register just because a single customer takes forever.

In 1996 my husband and I stayed in Atlanta, GA for a couple of weeks with friends. And southern hospitality with lots of chitchat and calling everybody "honey, sweetie etc." sometimes unnerved my German mind ("Get to the point unneccessarily friendly waiter. I'm hungry, ao I want to order. Damn it"). But then we drove up to Long Island, NY to visit some friends of my parents-in-law and some business-partners of our company, I noticed people becoming less friendly by the mile. When in the hotel the waitress, that served our breakfast, plainly asked "What do you want?" (in a very stern and unfriendly tone) without any preliminary conversation I was utterly shocked. She was rude, even for a German mindset..

@carudatta 5 лет назад

You rude thing, you. I remember an old lady pushing her shopping cart along a supermarket aisle, ramming it into my back at full speed. A FULL shopping cart. I was nearly knocked over. In trying to stay upright, I made a bit of an arm movement and accidentally pushed a small box of something (cookies, I think) off a shelf. I turned around and gave the lady an indignant look. Whereupon she said, in an angry tone (Viennese dialect): "It was YOU who knocked that box over." That's what I call rude.

@bethgriesauer3825 5 лет назад

I've been in Austria for 23 years. When I go home to California - the friendliest state in friendly America - I am blown away by the friendly, open welcoming I get while out shopping. It feels so good! I once got into a conversation with the employee/cashier in a vitamin store about how different customer-cashier interactions are in Austria compared to where I was in San Francisco. He felt sorry for us in Europe! After a ten minute chat (the shop was empty), he came around the counter and gave me a big hug goodbye. That has never happened to me (to anyone in history?) In Vienna!

@LpSC2online 5 лет назад

If you want to make some small talk in Vienna, you can also do so; it is not impossible, I have done it a couple of times at the right occasion. As long as it is authentic and not invasive, there is no problem at all. You might still have to learn how to do that in Austria. In my POV every conversation that does not start genuine between strangers or might even start forced is a deal-breaker. That being said, I would not want to be hugged by a stranger usually - at least not after chatting for 10 minutes.

@tramper42 5 лет назад

IntyMichael : True, a short „Guten Tag“ should be the bare minimum. As I understand it, there are more sentences spoken in USA... can also happen in Germany, when you are very often at the same store/shop e.g. bakery and/or in the German countryside, where things are „going slower“, also because less customers waiting.

@williwuttke 5 лет назад

I think a german cashier would be very puzzled if I asked her or him "Wie geht es Ihnen?", but at least where I live it's very normal to say "Hallo" or, here in the north, "Moin". And we also say something like "Schönen Tag noch", which means "have a nice day", of course also "Schöne Feiertage" or "Schönes Wochenende", when we leave. Smalltalk depends on the situation. If I know the cashier I happen to say "Oh, Sie waren beim Friseur, sieht gut aus". Weather is always a topic to talk about. On the other hand, the cashier and me, we both agree in being there for doing our transaction and not let all the other customers have to wait until we would have finished our chitchat. Referring to the behaviour in the grocery store, I would like some more "Americanism". I always say "Entschuldigen Sie" or "Darf ich mal..." or "Bin schon aus dem Weg" and react quite annoyed, if someone shoves me just to get where I was. Or if someone leaves his cart standing just in the middle of the aisle instead of putting it on the side to leave enough room for all the others.

@S_Black 5 лет назад

One thing to keep in mind though is that the American "how are you?" is usually just another way to say "hello". People aren't actually interested and don't expect a real answer. If you ask that in Germany you actually mean it. At least to a stranger. When said to a friend it can be just a greeting as well

You could. "How are you today?" Usually it's the cashier or shop assistant who asks the customer, though. It's just a greeting. In Austria, traditionally people greet each other with "Gruß Gott!" but no one literally means "Greetings to God".

@katy3115 5 лет назад

Typical exchange: Cashier. "I, how are you?" Customer, I'm good, and you?" ashier, "good." This is done automatically while the transaction takes place and almost without thought. At the end of the transaction: Cashier, "Thanks, have a great day." Customer, "You too." It's really not personal at all, it's just habit, I guess.

Thinking about it, I would agree. It is kind of rude...what would happen, if you ask someone (stranger, like a cashier) how they are and the answer is "fucking bad! It hate my life!" ...would you start talking about it? While others are waiting behind you? And then you wave goodbye and the next one is asking the same question and again the answer is "shit!"...isnt that rude, having to answer those kind of questions again and again. Or what about just saying "oh okay!" as an answer and proceed paying. I think that is rude too.

@dimples1959 5 лет назад

And as an American I actually prefer not to engage in small talk because it feels pointless to me. Most of the time especially in instances like at the grocery store, I just like to make my purchase and leave. Most of the time the cashier and I know that neither of us really cares how the other person is doing. We're just trying to get through our day. It's just the polite thing to ask. I prefer self checkout for this reason because it feels more genuine.

Oh boy, yeah, I remember something. Our team attended a sales meeting in Kyoto. We had been told beforehand that we shouldn't tip the waiters, as tips are regarded as a way of saying "Do a better job next time" in Japan, but it seemed my boss hadn't been listening. We had a great meal in a fancy restaurant, and when he paid the bill, he left a tip on the table (some coins and bills). When we left the restaurant, I turned around and saw the waiter throwing the money to the ground, with an expression as if he had just been fired. This was quite a few years ago, I don't know if this mentality has changed in the meantime, but this was definitely a cultural faux pas. My boss had been rude without even noticing.

The funny thing is that in Germany, in the right circles, everyday politeness goes a very long way. I lived in the U.S. for a year once, and although all the unwritten rules of U.S. courtesy were confusing to me at first (and some still are), I adopted certain things for my everyday life here in Germany that have served me very well. While it's true that Germans aren't famous at all for politeness, a well-measured use of "please", "thank you", "Excuse me" and other things like that really don't go unnoticed, especially in the business world. Since my time in the U.S., I also struggle to be brutally honest to people and show them my disapproval the idiosyncratically German way 😁

So I say a few things to brighten up their day a bit.

I think we Americans can learn a lot from German social behavior. There are so many superfluous social interactions and ridiculous niceties in our culture, and that can be really exhausting. Especially for introverts like me, who would rather move through their day efficiently and with as little social interaction as possible, a shift towards the German style would be quite nice :) I don't think that will ever happen though, because as Americans, the idea of being owed politeness, dignity, and respect (and personal space, lol) 24/7 is practically in our cultural DNA.

And to the not saying hello to the cashier is luckily not the usual way in Germany. I'm working at the counter at Aldi and I would say about 80% of my customers say Hello to me. So Dana is not only a rude American she is aswell a rude. German. Tztztz Stefan you're a really bad rawmodel 🤣

@CarinaCoffee 4 года назад

Yeah, I work for a discounter, too and we're supposed to say hello to people, look them in the eyes while doing it and wishing them a nice day. Usually people greet me as well. I mean, usually people wait for me to tell them how much it is, even when they already have the bill in hand (since we're supposed to say that too), but when someone hands over the money real quick I just assume they're in a hurry and try to hand them back their change quickly. And I always excuse myself when I cross between someone looking at the shelf or thank them when they make way.

German living in Paris. In Paris, every conversation begins with Bonjour. Getting into a bus begins with Bonjour. I learned that it is not "Bonjour, ça va?" for strangers in the airport, but for every coworker or acquaintance it is. Even if you do not really really care. Unlike in Germany, where if I ask, I want to hear the 5 min update, not just a "geht gut". I am a bit like Stefan, I adapt to the situation. Maybe it is a German thing to conciously adapt to places? Being more English than the English, more French than the French.

One time in FL I was in Walmart and put a big watermelon in my cart and continued shopping. I kept noticing an old black woman behind me with a mop. At the checkout I realized the watermelon was punctured and the whole time I was shopping I was leaking watermelon juice into the floor and she was quietly following me mopping up the spill. I said to her “I’m so sorry. You should have told me. I didn’t realize it”. She just stood staring at me silently. I couldn’t decide if she was being passive-aggressive or not. 🤔

1.) 2meters, really? Some parking spaces are less wide then that... (our whole isleways are less then that). You'd be excusing yourself non-stop here. How the hell do americans survive in big cities or open-air markets? 2.) Saying nothing is even rude here, cashiers might not show it but you're annoying them by not being friendly at all.

@crappiefisher1331 5 лет назад

sorry but you guys are weird .. when i have to pass someone in front of them, while they are looking at the shelf, I will for sure say "Entschuldigung, ich muss grad mal vorbei". even tho "good" germans should pay enough attention to their surroundings and make room, if someone else is coming, so the new person can pass behind them... that's what I do all the time and most other people where i live do it as well... there is barely ever the need to pass in front of someone even tho the isles are small... and if you can pass behind someone without disturbing them then there is no need to interact... if they made room, because they saw you coming, a thank you is in order as well also when i for once don't pay attention to my surroundings, and stand in the middle of the way, while searching for something, and someone else says to me "Entschuldigung kann ich mal vorbei" then i take a step closer to the shelf, let them pass behind me and excuse myself for being in the way with a "Ups, sorry.." and a smile... so i would say normally halfway decent raised germans pay attention to their surroundings and try to not be in the way to begin with... at least where i live.. likewise not saying "Hi" or "Guten Tag/Guten Morgen" to the cashier is rude in germany too... it is true that we don't start small talk, but a friendly smile + a short "Hallo" and "Have a nice day/weekend" when leaving is completely normal.. so it has to be a bavarian or munich thing... or the people in Rhineland-Palatinate and the whole rhineland area are really just a lot friendlier than the rest of germany, but i don't think so....

It's funny for me when I watch you saying that Germans don't interact with each other, because from my point of view it's quite different. I come from Poland and since I live in Germany I noticed that I interact with strangers much more here then in my country. It includes cashiers and sometimes some smiles and nice glances while passing by in a narrow alley. Ok, it's definitly not American-style, but still for me it's much more then I had on a daily basis in Poland and I really like it this way ;)

@hugomf 5 лет назад

It’s kinda funny to me that, when I was living in germany, I literally used every day the word “entschuldigung“ when I was at a store or a public place. Perhaps because of that feeling that Stefan described of being in another country, another culture, and trying to not upset anybody. But yeah, entschuldigung is definitively a word that a used constantly.

@WhiteSpatula 5 лет назад

Being raised with both German and American social norms, I found a happy medium (here in the US). When I’m shopping and I spot what I want, I’ll make a bee line for it and simply eek out a perfunctory “Pardon” to anyone I pass by close enough to hear it. For me, that’s sufficiently hospitable. I’m not sure how other people view it because, well, I never bother to check outside my tunnel vision for their reactions. LOL!

I work in a grocery store in a massive tourist destination in my country, and I’ve noticed that I’m WAAY more lenient with foreigners’ habits and behaviours than 99.999999% of my coworkers and customers. I was working a few days ago, and a Chinese family came up to me and asked for help on something. I helped them and then, every time they needed my help with something (we were in an open area of the supermarket), the father would call out “hello!” to me and wave in my direction while I was helping other people (I don’t think he knew much English, but fortunately neither of us needed to speak much to solve whatever problem occurred). After they left, one woman said to me “i can’t believe how rude he was, just yelling out ‘hello!’ to you like that! Didn’t you think that that was rude?!” And I just said “no, maybe that’s how you call workers to you in his country? Maybe he didn’t speak much English.” She just shook her head in seemingly disappointment after I said that

She looked up and said in an impolite way "Ex-cuuuuse me!" :) I also leave no space in lines anymore and have much less personal space! I was also suprised at how much small talk cashiers make now that I've lived away! I used to be small talker, but no more! Loved this video!

@JimWorthey 5 лет назад

Here in Maryland, near Washington DC, I strive to be polite, but every situation is different. We often shop in "International" stores, where the cashiers are immigrants. Although 2 stores both span a range of Asian and Latin American cuisines, the ethnicity of the cashiers may be different. I smile and speak politely, but I have no expectation what will happen. Once I was seeking Chinese patent medicines and went in a store labelled "Asian Store." All the cashiers were pleasant-looking young women, but when I tried to ask a question, none could speak English. They sent me to the manager, who spoke little English, but explained that "Asian" meant "Japanese" in this case. In the big chain markets more people are using the robotic self-checkout, and even if you have a cashier, you keep busy pushing buttons on the little terminal that reads the credit card. I feel that I and others are friendly but there's limited opportunity for small talk.

Hello You nice couple, like You both and Your Vids :-) Having big Family in America and being German and always in contact with foreigners from all over the world, speaking English and German every day, I want to change Your point of view a bit, if I may so. Since I am much older than You and having experience in cultural interaction since 40 Years I would like to point out that this differences have changed dramatically, in a positiv way. In the 60s and 70s the living was rougher and tougher here in Germany but due to that, the interaction between people was much more polite. You excused to someone when passing close or opened door for someone. But then in the 80s and 90s live was more pleasant but behavior went rude. It has really improved since then. Nowadays the cultures get more and more used to each other and I can't resist the feeling that is going for the better. And the best proof I have to underline that is: Your Video! 20 Years ago no one was interested to boggle a single Brain cell with rudeness at all. Now we can watch and enjoy a Young couple, loving each other and care about these very precious interactions between cultures and learn and improve from one another. Let alone, someone reconsider ones own behavior is proof of being "NON SUPER RUDE". Just the opposite ;-) We need more people like You, and I have the same feeling when I watch my own children interacting with others. I hope we will win ;-) Cary on

You need also to praise everyone that is doing something (for you) with some exaggeration (or it feels as exaggeration with my background). This is still difficult for me, but I'm trying to adapt!

@Trifler500 5 лет назад

As for walking around in a supermarket, mall, etc. I think it's normal in the U.S. to treat foot traffic similarly to car traffic. You tend to stay to the right side of the hallway, you don't bump into people, you don't cut them off. You kind of pay attention to traffic but you don't talk to anyone outside of your group. I would have thought it would be rude to cut off an old woman in any country, but I would have to be there when it happened to really say. Beyond a certain distance it isn't an issue.

Germany didn't make you rude. In the 1st case you were simply ignorant because you were mentally pre-occupied. The second one is a bit confusing as it sounds like the cashier has never had people who were in a hurry or don't like small-talk. Btw, over here people (Osnabrück area) normally say "Kann ich mal eben vorbei?" or "Darf ich da eben vorbei?". Entschuldigung alone would be unusual. And if they're younger (particularly kids) they kind of just fidget around until noticed because they're too scared or shy 😄

As for interacting in a transaction, we always say Hi, How are you, please, and thank you. Always. We wouldn't have chit chat beyond that, though.
