The beautiful German "Hallooo!?!" is the most passive-agressive expression any angry German can use.😅😅😅

You're only a proper german if you're faster then the cashier. I even developed own techniques and learned some from my parents

Great. Germany seems like the country I was born to live in. I'm a very anxious person and therefore I'm always trying not to bother anyone and be quick, silent and prepared for any situation. At least there my effort will mean something.

Point 2 is very important, especially at discounters like Lidl or Aldi, where I’ve found that the cashiers have honed their skill of dragging monumental amounts of goods across the register with what appears to be close to light speed. It pays off to think about the order of the items when they’re on the conveyor beforehand. If you put hard and heavy objects on first and then the lighter ones, you don’t have to sort later during the ensuing time trial. If you have a shopping cart with you, it’s often easier to just put it back in (more or less orderly) and then step aside after paying to store your items. Most shops will have a little area for that, or at the very least extended windowsills to put things on.

For me the funniest thing was when I wanted to catch a bus in Germany for the first time. In Brazil we have to "signal" the bus for it to stop (otherwise it will just drive away), and the gesture kind of looks like you are doing a nazi salute :O (a gesture that absolutely doesn't have that connotation here). When I tried to signal the bus my friend almost had a heart attack. lol

Selbst als Deutscher finde ich die Situation an der Supermarktkasse total stressig 😅

Als Kind habe ich 12 Jahre lang Deutsch studiert. Jetzt habe ich fast alles vergessen, weil ich niemanden zum Üben habe. Ihre Serie bringt mich zum Lächeln und erinnert mich an Dinge. Vielen Dank! 🌻🌻🌻

I've been learning German for 54 days now and I finally found a good channel to get further into the language, thank you for giving me the time to process words and eventually learn the ones I don't know without having to check a translator

Das wichtigste beim Kassentetris: Die Reihenfolge der Steine schon vorher auf dem Band festlegen.

„Wiedersehen macht Freude“ wirkt immer so passiv aggressiv auf mich...

Everything is opposit in Israel 😅. Our toilets are free everywhere, people are very loud in restaurants, they are not in hurry in supermarket. The only thing we can relate is to keep quietness on Saturday, this is really strict.

There's an easy solution to the supermarket "problem". Just take a cart with you. (German) Supermarket registers are designed so the cart can get put up against the end of the register (so the cashier can look inside if you have forgotten to put something on the belt) and also for you to be able to just quickly throw everything back in. After you leave the register there's usually a space behind the register or at the windows with a wide windowsill where you can tetris your purchase into bags. Why is everyone making this out to be so difficult?

Die schnellsten DJs der Welt sind Aldi-Kassierer.

For the toilet situation should be added, that "peeing in the park" could cost you around 50€ if someone notices ;)

The trick in the supermarket is to put the heavy stuff at first over the band so you organise everything before putting it into the bags. Then it's only dropping in, and that's it. Usually the heavy stuff are vegetables, so they have to weight it first and it gives you more time to prepare the bags 🤣

My experience on the "no free tap water" issue has been that I usually get it if I ask nicely; probably 9/10 times. It's worth it to ask, especially if you're already ordering another drink anyway. My feeling is that as a non-German visitor in Germany you should act as you see fit while maintaining a respectful and positive attitude. If a German calls you out on your actions that's ok, and really their problem. Just keep smiling and don't let it bother you. Cultural interaction is a two-way street.

Actually, when I was in Berlin, people also crossed the street with a red traffic light. They never did by themselves, I always did it first, but then the whole crowd followed me every time 😂 I felt like a prophet, it was really nice.

Ein Tipp beim Einkaufen: immer das Obst und Gemüse am Ende auf das Band legen. Das wird nämlich (in den meisten Läden) an der Kasse gewogen und benötigt deshalb auch etwas mehr Zeit als die anderen Lebensmittel. So hat man „Zeit“ in der man beim Einladen in den Einkaufswagen aufholen kann😂

I really appreciate to teach me what to be careful about in daily life in Germany. Initially, I thought it might be inconvenient that all shops and restaurants, except for tourist spots, are closed on Sundays. However, after experiencing it firsthand, I realized that on Sundays, I am actually relieved of shopping stress and can spend quality time with my family. The rule of "Ruhezeit" is also clear, and as someone who dislikes noise, it makes living here comfortable. Vielen Dank！
