My Brother Experiences The German Grocery Store Chaos

I can't remember the last time I went grocery shopping on a saturday. You are two brave men! Next level: IKEA on a Verkaufsoffener Sonntag 🤣🤣

Actually one of the biggest achivements of my life was to be called "Bruder" bei my local Dönermann. I swear to god, if I ever hold a Nobelprice speech and they ask me about my biggest achivement, I will name the "Bruder" thing. So getting a free drink form you Dönermann is already a big achivement for the first week in Germany. Congratulations and Welcome to Germany.

True art. The director introduces another order of observation where the former protagonist watches the new protagonist make the same experiences as the former protagonist. Brilliant!

Need more of these German adventures of Malf and Nalf

The real apocalypse is shopping at an Aldi at 8 in the morning when they have chidlrens clothes or computers on sale. Best advice push it real good, always...

There's a whole TV series here, Two American Brothers take on Germany, one pretzel or kebab at a time.

I see Mikey prepared himself in advance before arriving in Germany by learning some basic vocabulary. Smart!

As a warm up, Americans should shop at Aldi and Lidl in the states before moving to Germany.

I grew up in the 80´s and 90´s where Stores closed at Saturday 12 o´clock midday. Today its way more relaxed to do groceries at Saturday.

I always found US dollars to be Monopoly money.. They all look the same and feel like they’re worth nothing

I hope you two enjoy yourselves here in Germany! Also the "Tschüssi" was the sign that u have officially have been germanized.

It's so much fun to see you in big brother mode. To Mikey remember your seatbelt those fines are not cheap. Saturday is the worst day for shopping in Germany!

I cackled when you said grocery shopping on a saturday evening in Germany is the apocalypse 😂 pretty much the most accurate thing I have ever heard. Also before holidays of any kind

Hehe, Nalf, I'll up that 'absolute chaos in the grocery store' by several factors. Go shopping on the 24th of December, when that 24th is a Thursday, thus Friday AND Saturday AND Sunday the stores will be closed as well. The absolute sheer terror of late Christmas present shoppers, late grocery shoppers, and the terrors of having to survive a FULL four days without buying fresh groceries drives Germans absolutely bonkers. THAT is the ultimate chaos of German grocery shopping. Phaw, shopping on a Saturday at 5 PM... that's child's play... I do that while snoozing through on jet-lagg induced sleep deprivation. 😂😂

As an American who has been living in Bavaria for the past five years (but who lived here in high-school before), I've been loving your videos of seeing and learning about the country - and now with your brother! One of my younger brothers was here as part of his Army service, but we never managed to meet up then. Viel Spaß euch beiden, die Gebrüder Alfieri :) ps - loved the "servus" , something we use in the southeast of the country as well !

Worst time is actually 17 o'clock under the week...because that is when everyone who stops at the grocery on the way home is there. Naturally the absolute worst time is before a long weekend, especially the Eastern and the Christmas Weekend.

I have a big feeling little bro will be fluent in German ever before his big bro. More fearless in using what he knows.

The Way in which you form this unique and special relationship with your Kebab/Döner-Shopowner of choice is something really heartwarming. They are almost always immigrants from the near east and have their own lingo and habits. It's as if you increase your friendship level until some day the shopowner calls you by your name, and remembers what you usually eat, so he just asks "like always?". Thats when you've made it. Have gone through that process a few times over the years in different german citys. At some point you are a kind of supreme customer, who gets free stuff and enhanced service. Me and my colleagues from work had such high status with our Dönermann, that once we arrived he even asked (quite insistingly) other guests to move to other tables, so we six could sit together and stuff, was almost a little too much service at times, but man we loved it there. Took us about 2 years of going there almost every Thursday (Donnerstag -> Dönerstag) to cultivate that relationship, almost sad that I dont work there anymore...

Absolutely hilarious. As a German who has lived in the UK for 12 years and now back, I feel a similar reverse culture shock and am trying to spread the use of “excuse me” in supermarkets ;-D

Would love to see more of his "firsts" in Germany. Keep it up, Guys and have great Time here! :)
