The better tasting milk is in the cold section! As a German I have never bought the "H Milch" in my life nor did I grow up with it. ^^

Do go to that meat counter and buy bacon if this is what you like they have really good bacon... Since it is not pre-packaged, you can buy as much as you like or as little as you like...

I like that scanner! That's so cool!

Interesting information for you, in America we sterilize our eggs, so the shells become much thinner and more fragile and we must refrigerate them, in Germany they do not sterilize their eggs so they are fine not refrigerated and they will last quite some time although you will find all the Germans take them home and put them in the refrigerator, lol... As I put in another post to you, the bread there is incredible and everyone has a bread box which keeps that bread fresh much longer than just if you left it out and it's plastic bag or generally a paper bag.

That scanner is a gamechanger for me-- I hope my Globus has it! 🤞

I noticed you ride an typical US American Big Block Supertruck for going groc shopping 🤣

Scan&Go...I guess Rome's got some catching up to do...thanks, this was really interesting. ;-)

Globus Nordenstadt got rid of the deposit system for their shopping carts due to the fact that Americans kept complaining about this German system they obviously didn't get. I went to both Globus Nordenstadt and Globus Hattersheim the day before Christmas and was immediately struck by the differences between these two supermarkets separated by only about 10km. Nordenstadt's regular customers with a strong base are Americans stationed there, so the store adjusted to that by offering many imported American items. I've never seen such a humongus cereal section outside the US with items and brands even I had never heard of. You'll never ever find this in any German supermarket (unless, maybe, in Kaiserslautern or Ramstein). I actually checked some labels just to make sure they were made in the US. The section for Christmas decorations was also more American oriented than German. What I enjoyed about Nordenstadt most was the international atmosphere with English and German being spoken at the same time anywhere in the store and the parking lot. It felt a bit like being on vacation in the US. So next time, I'll be heading to Nordenstadt in the first place (Bus line 262 being a convenient option with almost door-to-door service). Guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr und viele Grüße aus Hofheim, Ralph

Wow I am actually suprised to see this scanning technology in Germany 🤩 We are normally a little behind with all that stuff 😅

5:13 there is "fresh milk" in every cold section...

Nice show!! Never heard or seen of Globus Supermarket! Not in the south Bavarian area at least! Well, yeah the very fresh milk is only to be found at the refrig section, the lasting longer milk outside of it. Hope you are enjoying the Weisswürste for breakfast and don’t dare to eat it past noontime! 😃as it goes together with a Brezn! 😄That’s a Bavarian rule like the Bier Reinheitsgebot!😉

This Globus market looks interesting, never heard before. Live in NRW, 300km away from Wiesbaden. This check out seems unique too 🤔☑️

Ich kenn Globus nur als Baumarkt. Das mit dem Scanner ist cool

I am German, but I've never ever buy in a grocery store by scanning myself. OK - at IKEA or a hardwarestore up to 5(?) items -no problem Wait and see what the future brings!

Very nice video, I did not know Globus at all, must be only in a certain region, but I think the scanning is great! Oh just a tiny correction, you do find milk in the refrigerated section. The "whole" milk (Vollmilch), most of the time in glass bottles. The milk in the non refrigerated section that is usually in a tetrapack is the "homogenized" milk that has a longer shelf life and since it usually has had an ultra-heat treatment, or ultra-pasteurization, it does not need to be refrigerated. For the meat I wouldn't buy it at a supermarket. I would look for a good butcher and buy my meat there, they will also give you tips on preparation or you can order a special cut of meat for any occasion where you need it. The meat there usually is from animals from the region, whereas the meat in the supermarket is usually from animals that did not have a good life and might have been shipped from anywhere. If you have a Biomarkt (like a whole foods, for example: Basic, VollCorner, Denns or any other in your area, get the meat there. It will be expensive but the animal will have had a better life.

I’ve been to that exact globus so many times. I moved back to the US on January 18th 2021. All I can say is I don’t miss Germany.

Difference between the meat in Germany vs the United States is that the German meat wouldn't have hormones anti biotics found on stateside meat since the European Union has stricter food standards. Have you ever tried comparing a breakfast cereal between its EU Germany version with the Stateside version which is sold in AAFES & Commissary in Wiesbaden.

this Globus Store is a store for american customer. this checkin and out is ver convenient! in typical German shops like EDEKA, LIDL, ALDI or REWE this is not available. Anyway looks nice to have!

You actually will find milk in the cold section too.

Wow so interesting to see how different from America it is! Great video 👍🏼

I had no idea Globus had that system. Recently I went into a Globus for the first time and saw someone using the machine but I thought he might just price checking something haha. Our Globus is 1 hour away so I don't go there for my regular shopping but there is an industrial area next to it with lots of other stores knowing now that they have self checkout I might grab my stuff there when I'm done shopping the next time I'm in the area.

so, do I get this right ? you are stationed at Wiesbaden-Erbenheim Air Base ? so why do you buy your wine in the grocery store then? there are so many good vineries around Wiesbaden and Mainz where you can buy directly and support local businesses btw... you can find fresh milk in the cooled section as well ... in my local (Berlin) EDEKA there is also a vending machine outside the market where you can buy daily fresh milk from a local farmer

Why does Germany seem so advanced to what it is in North America? better stores, better roads, better rail network, the list goes on. Wow

Why is it that all Americans have a hard time seeing the "fresh" milk in the refrigerated section? There are all those milk products. To find them might be a challenge due to their cartons. But then ...

That horrible 'H-Milch' is a long-shelf-life, high tempered milk. But that taste is absolutely dis-gus-ting! The only reason to buy it is if you drink your coffee with lots of milk regularly. I wouldn't even spoil cereals with that stuff. Only the real, refrigerated normal fat content for me (ie 3.8%). If I can get it I will buy the non-homogenized milk as well. Yes, if you store it for a day or two the fat in the milk will separate and form a thick layer on top. That's exactly the way that cream was originally produced. Let whole-fat milk sit in a wide open bowl in a cool area for a day or two. Then skim off the top layer of fat. Voila, real cream (and skimmed milk). But for the typical amount vigorously shaking the carton before unscrewing (note, not after opening 😁) will result in a perfect redistribution of fat. Nope, if you find clumps of fat in the milk it has NOT spoiled, it just isn't processed to death before sale. Reusable bags is one style of packing at the cashier. But the pro grocery shopper use something different. Two pro tips to beat the German cashiers: 1. Get a sturdy (not one of those flimsy) folding box / Klappkiste with a top load limit of 50 kg (not the flimsy 28 or 32 kg limited ones). As these are always open once unfolded it is much easier to pack them at the cashier because you don't have to hold them open with one hand like a bag. They also don't collapse in on themselves if you strike the edge with an object that might be a bit sturdier. 2. Place your haul strategically on the belt for an optimal breather and breaks in the 5 yard German cashier sprint. If you go to stores that don't force the customer to weigh out their veggies and fruits, but the cashier weighs them out with an integrated scale at the scanner, then use this trick to slow them down. Drop a few items not in the flimsy plastic bags somewhere in between your other goods. That forces the cashier to slow down to individually weigh and scan them, and gives you a chance to catch up with them, or even take a short breather. Because German store cashiers are among the fastest in the world. Nope, no packing services in German grocery stores. If you sprinkle all your goods on the belt with separate stashes of fruits and veggies that have to be weighed individually then you will get several short breaks during packing. Egg cartons should be placed fairly at the end of the belt so they end up on the top of your haul instead of crushed under the rest of your goods. Cashiers are mandated in many stores to open and check out the cartons because so many shoplifters place small but valuable items inside the cartons. That is another slow-down technique.
