This may have several reasons. Germans are not used to wait in line and always expect a fast service, and you usually get a fast service in Germany. This again can sometimes be very problematic for costumers who wish for a consulting service because shop assistants are rather drilled to settle a transaction quickly than spending time on giving advices. This behavior by shop assistants annoys many Germans. Thus, Germans often denote Germany as \u201c<strong><em>Servicew\u00fcste<\/em><\/strong>\u201d (service desert), which means that there is nothing or no one who can ever assist you.)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"2\" valign=\"top\" width=\"460\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"230\">Wir sind bescheidenWir haben Geld<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"230\">We are modestWe have money<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"2\" valign=\"top\" width=\"460\">(Germans are indeed quite modest when it comes to money. It is considered to be pretentious to show and say that you have money. But these lines are also sarcastic because there are also many Germans who live on social welfare and\/or below the poverty line.)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"2\" valign=\"top\" width=\"460\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"230\">Die Allerbesten in jedem SportDie Steuern hier sind WeltrekordBereisen Sie Deutschlandund bleiben Sie hier<\/p>\n<p>Auf diese Art von Besuchern warten wir<\/p>\n<p>Es kann jeder hier wohnen, dem es gef\u00e4llt<\/p>\n<p>Wir sind das freundlichste Volk<\/p>\n<p>auf dieser Welt<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"230\">We are the very best at every sportThe taxes here are world recordTravel to Germanyand stay here<\/p>\n<p>We are waiting for this kind of visitors<\/p>\n<p>Everyone can live here, who wants to<\/p>\n<p>We are the friendliest people<\/p>\n<p>in this world<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"2\" valign=\"top\" width=\"460\">(Some lines level criticism against politics.
