Having had the privilege or misfortune of having travelled extensively I find that where ever I go shoppers overseas are welcomed,helped and valued. The large department stores employing a small army of assistants only too pleased to point you in the right direction or help you find items you are searching for.
I love shopping in the Philippines where hoardes of lovely uniformed assistants are on hand to carry your shopping,help you pack,wrap or gift wrap with care for free your purchased goods and greet you with a smile. If your lucky and a terrible flirt lke me you can always ask one out for a coffee....
Even in America your still greeted with a smile addressed as sir or ma'am. I wonder whatever happened to the ''customer is always right''..
