Is the customer always right? 71 Shopping is very much a part of a country’s culture，and attitudes to shopping and consumers vary from country to country j last as much as climate or taste in food.
Recent economic hardship has given the consumers increased power in Europe because shopkeepers fight to win their share of reduced disposable（可支配的）income. This has meant failing prices，plenty of special offers and a re―examination of what customer service really means. 72 In restaurants in the south of the USA，for example，waiters compliment. （恭维）you on your clothes，ask about your day，compliment you on your wisdom of your order and then return every ten minutes to refill your glass and make sure that everything is to your satisfaction.

First of all she waits until they are on sale. 74 And later she finds some small fault with the product and demands a further reduction. She never buys anything at the regular price.

E. The answer，it seems，depends on which country you are in.
F. The way we shop shows the way we get along with other people.
G. However，do Europeans really want
