> "can I help you"

Walmart? Are you sure? They are not known for being helpful, let alone solicitous.

Ironically, the only grocery chain that I can think of where employees actively ask if they can help is Trader Joe's. I can't help but giggle at the fact that they're German-owned, even if this part of the culture came from the American founder.




I read an analysis about Wal-Mart it was mentioned that employees are required to ask every customer within 3 feet. Maybe that has changed in the last 16 years.

Oh I would also be very confused since Aldi is the pioneer when it comes to shopping in peace and w/o frills in Germany.
