USA, Canada / CULTURE SHOCK! (of my Polish finance who visited the US) [210]
Yeah, but visitors to the US assume that they actually mean it.
Its a meaningless comment, they may as well say 'go **** yourself'
BTW, Ireland and other countries have added a tax of 10p or so on plastic bags to reduce the billions of bags that end up poluting the countryside. Free plastic bags at supermarkets are causing massive environmental damage in all countries, expect to pay for them in future - its not supermarkets being nice or nasty.
In US they always say: "Have a nice day" and smile when you shop. Never hear that in Poland. SHOCK!!!!
