It happens all the time

I lived here all my life and that never happened to me at any store...

Try to go shopping in sportsstore in Florida

The myth about shopkeepers want to help you for the bonus is also a myth?

I don´t know really, they might do it when it is somebody that speaks a language other than Spanish (?) On Florida st there were always the guys from leather stores, but nothing else, plus they would just chase tourists, I didn´t know it was common practice everywhere now

I was talking about when you are in a shop

I know what you meant, they sometimes ask you for the name of the person that assisted you , etc but that is just it, but if you don´t remember, off you go... I personally hate it when they are all over you, unless you specifically ask them for something but that is just me

I am not aware of any good Chinese restaurant. Maybe they do exist but the ones I have been to(even in China town) are basically Argentine restaurants that offer Chinese food

I just got back from visiting my brother who is an expat in China and I realized I never had decent Chinese food in the States either (expect perhaps San Francisco, but even then it doesnt compare).

Yeah it is about perspective, absolutely! It is OPEN! Great, but what I didn't like is the "YOU PEOPLE" part...it is very discriminatory! Also, upstate New York isn't really the place I would go to judge the entire USA in 4 days...it would have to be San Francisco!!!
