If I want German treatment, I make sure to mention I am from Germany. The Japanese think you want American style treatment since that's the majority of their visitors.
As for Japanese, the joke goes that it makes sense why we were in the Axis together. The culture can be similar in several places except protein intake.
What's German customer service? Staring at you with an impenetrable gaze ?
I don't hate em but nothing Ive ever gotten there would be considered service. I guess by my American standards.
Customer service works like this, you don't come over unless called. Everything is done quietly and without bothering the customer. It's important that the group bubble is left alone. I personally think the Scottish stair is angrier looking. The German one is to be as neutral as possible.
I've been asked if the American waitress had personal problems a few times. Depending on where it was, they might start hinting about cults being nearby. I mean, she told us her name, had a big personality and acted like she was part of the group. I don't even know most of my cousins' last names, why should we know her's?
American customer service is nosey to cut down on shoplifting. It's a warning to any would-be thieves that they're being watched. And studies show it works, which is why every retailer tells their wagies to bother people.
I've been told this. I think it comes from the days of earning by commission and tips. Most stores in Europe, especially the ones in the smaller towns, are not big enough to need that. You either shop at the store or go to the next town over.
