Then you are one of the better/nicer people you encounter in supermarkets but in general, fast bagging performance is an a social requirement when shopping at the grocery stores (far more relaxed at other stores). Also, some juicy reading on Walmart in Germany: https://www.nytimes.com/2006/08/02/business/worldbusiness/02walmart.html https://www.nytimes.com/2006/08/02/business/worldbusiness/02... I noticed one more stark difference: many Germans don't own a car and apparently the large Walmarts often needed to be located at the edge of towns. Germans do more local, atomic grocery shopping around the corner and carry their stuff home by foot, bike, or public transport.

It depends. The one Walmart i knew of was central and easily reachable by public transport, the one my mother went to not so much but she did so nonetheless, because WALMART! WATERCOOLER! :) Anyways, it depends on the location, there are parts of large towns which are underserved, or in structural decline with almost no options, and not everyone lives in the big cities. So when you live out of town, away from the masses it can happen that you have to drive about an hour by car to the next larger "big box cluster" somewhere, serving that larger sparsely populated area, or into some town.
