Abject apology is not an attitude known in English shops. Sullen indifference is more the norm, so most people don’t bother objecting to rudeness because they’re pretty sure that any objection will simply induce further rudeness.
Shop assistants over here just don’t give a damn what customers think.

I find it much more satisfying to cop that attitude than get mad. She was abjectly apologetic. </p> I did tell her as I was leaving that in the future, she might not want to comment on customers’ photos.

A perfect hairdryer is the one I spend a half hour comparing to all the others. Its 1875 watts, ionic, bionic, ceramic, dynamic and very very light.

But then I’d have been without the hairdryer and the samples…

Where are you going if not LJ? I’ll miss you!

I have some truly horrendous passport and driving licence photos.
Usually taken when I’m feeling quite happy and serene – but I come out looking a grim old hag! T’aint fair.
