Airport workers seem often stressed and rude. I have never experienced unfriendly treatment worse than at Philadelphia Airport. Been there 3 times and it was always the worst.
I saw a stressed security guard at Düsseldorf Airport last year. He was yelling at me and some other passengers. I thought to myself: Germans should never yell (WW2 movie flashback ).
There are no stores in any airport's immigration or customs area.
I'm not sure which transit area OP is referring to (FRA has two terminals) but the one in Terminal 1 at Frankfurt has restaurants, cafes, and stores selling cosmetics, food, beverages, luggage, magazines, and pretty much everything except medications. Transit areas in European airports are not like in the U.S.

I believe that is what I said. There are no pharmacies between landing and EU Immigration, but plenty of other stores. I've been to Frankfurt 30 times in the last ten years, so I think I'd know
Some Germans are quite nice but some are very rude especially when you speak in English. I noticed that many times.
Wow, not me - what I noticed is the eagerness for Germans to practice speaking English. Whenever I try to speak German and they realize that English is my first language, they immediately switch gears and begin talking in English - many seem to take great pride in their ability to speak English pretty fluently. It's a "win win" situation - LOL!

Yes! My father tried speaking German several years back to some locals and they literally laughed in his face with his poor pronunciation!
We had an incident with a cab driver who yelled at us because his van couldn't fit our party of 5 into his vehicle. We just stared in bewilderment at this type of customer service.

I had a similar situation once, although I have a diploma "Deutsch als Fremsprache" from the Goethe institute, my pronunciation when tired may betray I'm not German, a few times some people rolled their eyes listening to me and said to those around(quite rude in my book) "what is he blabbering, I don't understand a word."
