Yes, even in Europe on a River Cruise I had to be subjected to searching for a department store…read morewhile on a shore excursion. The Galeria Kaufhof was a very pleasant find and shopping experience, well, especially for my wife's expected grand baby shopping frenzy. For me, finding a quiet place to sit, rest the worn feet, and do some people watching was the perfect combination of service and fine hospitality. Once rested, I did browse the racks and displays. I enjoyed seeing the variation in fashions and the store attendants were very accommodating to my visual presence saying, "Danika, just browsing." The selections were impressive and prices in my broken sense of Euro to Dollar conversion were nicely comparable. Eventually, my eyes fell on the large selections of chocolates and confections that could travel easily back home! That was my score of the day, oh as well as, my finding Oma (to-be) with arms full of baby to toddler sized clothing. Success, yes, on both levels of shopping priorities. We both brought a bounty of treasures back to our ship.

Okay, so I wasn't even that touristy, but I was American for sure. He was super down to Earth and let me look through everything I wanted to see. He didn't pressure me, he was actually really and truly helpful. The store was busy but not ridiculously crowded. After coming from the flagship store in Paris, this location was like a breath of fresh air.

Yeah, but here you can actually pay with Card, and for me, that i almost live cash-less is a blessing to have such stores nearby or at least in specific points, like the main station in the city center! I'm totally into supporting small businesses but, like i always say, better 98% of something than 100% of nothing! People in Germany should start supporting more the cash-less people! And the thing is that there are solutions like SumUp, iZettle, etc. but they just don't care. So thumbs up for copying a kind of store that exist since decades in North America!
