Valid in every grocery store: Bring your own bag or buy one. You'll always find paper and/or plastic bags close to the cashier. Put it in the front of your groceries to get it handed over first. Be fast packing your stuff into your bag(s) since the next customer follows directly after you. The cashier is not gonna wait for you. ;-) BTW: Closed on Sundays and holidays. In general, all stores in Germany are closed on Sundays and holidays except in some major train stations.
