Could you extrapolate on your experiences? From what I saw (in Germany, Poland, and Italy), it is that people aren't paid to give a shit about the customer outside of the context of their service. No "how is everybody doing today?" No "have a nice day." You are there to be served and that's it.
Then again, these kinds of attitudes can change dramatically across national boundaries; the perspective I have often heard about France is that "the customer is always wrong."
- elcapitan 10y agoEurope is very regional in many things, this is one of them. Southern Germany would be a very different (more friendly) experience than Northern Germany (in particular Berlin). [Waiting for fellow Germans to kick my butt for that ^^] I've had similarly very nice experiences in France at the German border (south west that is).
