Manners

In Finland and in Sweden the employees at supermarket‘s cash register always say “Hello” to the client. This never happens in Denmark, I am about to give up. I have now been trying for almost 11 years always saying “Hej” to the daydreaming employee, but they just ignore it. Sometimes I tell them how impolite it is not to say “Hej” back, then I get a “Huh?” from the employee. Well, at least it starts with “h”.

But I won’t give up, I am a fighter. Maybe one day I get lucky and the employee is a Nazi. When he hears my “Hej”, he might hear it as “Heil” and will eventually greet me back.
