In the US you help people load stuff?
I don’t think I have ever seen employees help someone load stuff here in Germany, apart from when someone bought a whole garden house or other stuff that isn’t on the shelves in the first place, but in the warehouse in the back, so they had to bring it out anyway.
I think some employees probably help if they feel like it, but only when you are nice. If you asked them to load a bag of mulch they would probably just say “good luck with loading it yourselves” 😂
I work in the outdoor lawn and garden department. As you can imagine, this is our busy time. As in, we make 75% of our yearly money in these 3 months.
Yeah, we got dudes whose sole purpose on some days is standing around loading mulch, dirt and rocks. “Loader” is actually on their schedule. People pay up front and drive around the side to pick up. LOL, not having that sort of thing in Germany, you might be appalled at how entitled some people are. I’m middle-aged, so I’m friendly and helpful, but I ain’t getting treated like a slave.
Have to admit, I’ve been a low-key ass to some who annoy me. “Man! How are you going to get this unloaded?!” Subtext being: “You’re too much of a pussy to pick it up. How are you going to actually use it?”
Yes, I know how entitled some people in the US can be.
Don’t get me wrong, we also have some of those here but the entitled people in the US are on a different league. I visited the US once and we experienced the first entitled person before even getting through security.
I guess here in Germany we don’t have quite the same mentality that the business needs to help pack your stuff, we also don’t have grocery baggers (or door greeters).
