Tekgirl is correct. It will take much longer in Europe, here's one supporting fact:

ridiculously limited shopping hours in a country like Germany

It used to be shorter about 3-4 years ago when all shops closed between 1800-1830. Now you can shop as late as what 2000 hrs, but better not need anything on Sunday.

Many stores still close earlier, but not Walmarts (Wertkauf). Some globalization is creeping in and will force changes albeit very slowly.

France is somewhat more enlighten legally: shops must only close for one 24 hr. period during the week. They make up for it with worse service (well, for foreigners at least).

FWIW It find the service in Switzerland to be the best in Europe with honorable mention going to Belgium.
