Don't go here if you're a foreigner and don't speak German.
I'm truly shocked how I was treated in this store today. The lady in the shop comes up to me and asks me if I want help. I then say yes please and tell her what I'm looking for. She looks at me in horror so I then ask politely "I'm so sorry, do you speak English?". She then said "yes I do, but it's so rude of you to just come in here and speak and not even ask me first if I speak English and you don't even say hello or thank you or anything!!!"-with this really mad voice. First of all, I did say hello, but she was busy w another costumer and maybe didn't hear me. Second I don't know what I would have said thank you to already at this point. But I was so surprised by her reaction I just said "ok, I think I will leave now". She then followed me to the door and said "This is Germany, we speak German here!" To which I replied "But I'm not from Germany, I would love to speak German but I don't yet" (I moved to Berlin 3weeks ago and don't know how that would even be humanly possible). She then tells me "then go learn German!", then she goes on and says a bunch of more rude and offensive things to me as I walk out of there.
This left me really upset and sad because I was really hoping to become a regular and big customer at this store, also I've so far only been met by nice and encouraging germans so this was definitely a setback.
Just want to mention that this was the older lady working in the store and I have been shopping three times at this store before but only from the younger one of the two and she's been super nice to me. read more
