So, 1st, Im American. An American living in Bayern ( different from north Germany)…read more
Second, I dont speak the very best German and they speak heavy dialectic in this part of the country.
Third, Ive lived in the area of this place for 3 years, this is my second time here, in one year.
My experience, I walk in and POLITELY ASK, for a pastry, in German, and also , one large cappuccino . In Bavarian dialectic she says, large or small , i say large, PLEASE...she turns her back and gives the infamous GERMAN COLD SHOULDER, Im so VERY used too. Now I could go on for days about this interaction Germans have with me and every other "non German" but again, I'd be talking for days, months, years even.
She makes my coffee, hands me my pastery, and tells me how much i owe....Then I sit down.
Then I notice right behind me, a couple in traditional Bavarian garb....OH ..............SHE IS SO NICE AND HAPPY TO SPEAK WITH THEM. PEOPLE.........PREJUDICE, ITS NOT JUST A WORD IN GERMANY, ITS A REALITY! This is just my experience. Just one persons own experience.
