Why English salesmen are not rude, but smile

In Eastern Europe, qualities such as sincerity and openness are highly valued by people. Tough. smile On the contrary, it is perceived as bayonets. People in our country believe that this manner of behavior is not true, and a smiling person is just cunning.



But in Western Europe, particularly in Britain, a big smile has long been common. Not only a person you know can smile. Even shop assistants, loaders and cops. It’s like they all live in a fairytale world and today is their best day.

So why is this strange behavior so popular in the West? It's like everyone's a waiter and you're a very rich client with money? In fact, opinions differ. We will try to deal with the most popular, because our compatriots who visited Albion, every year becomes more and more.

Some Eastern Europeans remain wildly dissatisfied after a trip to Britain. No, it's not that the habits of the English may be different from ours. Not the local food. And not even in a difficult situation with mud on the street. Case relation. There is an opinion that the British, as well as the Americans and even Canadians, treat our brother ... somewhat downtrodden.



All these ingratiations, smiles and sweet looks are not a manifestation of politeness. So the British just want to "deceive us savages." So that we don’t feel anxious or negative. Like the baby. In order for him to stop whining and smile, you need to hang out with him a little. He doesn’t know the language of “adults” yet.

This part concerns probably only employees of service professions. Most often, a tired saleswoman will be reluctant to do her job without saying hello and saying the banal “please.” And the loader can send it away. Don’t smile, stay calm, even tense. Nobody likes smiling fools.



But if you dig in, you can find a reason. The fact is that since Soviet times, the attitude of the people to such professions is not the best, in its mass. If you do not believe, remember which one conductorship in your city. It's a job, too. And there are many of them. What is the mood and especially the desire to smile?



But in Western Europe there is no problem with this. The staff is just like you. His salary is not bad, his attitude is excellent. So why not smile at the customer again? A smile is contagious. You for me, I for you. And all day long I want to share with my neighbor joy or listen to his story.

Pure politeness There is also such a theory. The English, as we know all along, are sulfur, feathers and descendants of barons. Well, at least they like to think that way. And in order to maintain this legend, as well as to stand out from the brawlers from Scotland and Ireland, fashion was taken with constant politeness, smiles and other compliments.



Time passed, and now the Scots became shy his "simple accent." And then the Irish. Little by little the habits of the islanders took over half the world. The British have had a good impact on the world. No wonder it was a huge empire. As a result, we have what we have. Smiles that don’t mean anything bad.



As we mentioned earlier, this fashion has not yet passed to us. Although if you come to the overseas McDonald’s or any other institution that came to us from the West, you notice that their staff is very smiley. That's part of the company's rules. We'll see what happens next. But the world is becoming smaller, and new trends are increasingly affecting our lives. It's a fact. Whether we like it or not, this is the case.
