i think epicurean is right it has nothing to do with where you from, it's prejudice to say south asians don't mind or don't know customer service. i even experience poor customer service in carrefour and villagio, maybe because i'm asian?don't know,but one thing's for sure, customer service really doesn't exist here. they have this "if you don't want, don't buy". hell, they don't even know what they are selling! they don't like you asking questions, it's like you should already know what you are buying. if you don't know, don't buy.

me: do you have fried chicken??
waiter: no! only chicken fry.
