In SPain customer service is also so-so. but at least they never shout at you and are always friendly (even if sometimes clueless) |
I will not say it never happens, i have my fair share of those experiences
but not only once i saw foreigners just shouting "Pivo!!" at a waitress and then they wonder when the waitress gives them the stink eye.
I live on top of one of the best pivnice in CZ, one waitress specifically hates foreigners that don't speak czech and - even worse - try to pay in Euro or things like that. Not only once i saw people giving up and walk away. but as a regular that at least tries to speak czech and is polite, i get treated very well by her.
PS: being impolite as a waiter in a pivnice is part of the culture and the job description, locals know that and know how to handle it. My favorite bartender slaps me when i try to order something non-alcoholic
but he also sends me birthday greetings by sms
