You have way more patience that I do in such situations. Granted, Aldi is not the place to go when you’re in a hurry, but the elderly that need to chit chat with the cashiers drive me up the wall.
I love the German way of things. Go in. Pay. Leave.
It was excruciating. Up there with when the oldies discuss what they will choose to eat for the week while standing in front of the meat, man handling all the packages. Ffffucking move. Please.
I get that we’re a nation of migrants, but I expect some level of the local language, especially for those who have lived here for 30+ years.
Kinda our fault (or the governments) for not mandating a national language. We don’t do it cause it opens a can of worms with indigenous folks and asks uncomfortable questions about national identity, but we don’t care that not having one fucks over the immigrants we so desperately want. Cause god forbid our population stagnates, but also fuck anyone doing IVF, for some reason?
I felt every bit of that story.

No need to socialise Beryl.

Add to that the lack of English skills (common in my area) and it just compounds my frustrations.
