I wanted to measure this friendliness of people and good nature of spontaneous goodwill. More importantly, I wanted to measure how much I'm really liked as a person and my place in society based on just me and the way I look, this test obviously translates to everyone I have ever met, including family, friends, pets, bank managers and celebrities.In this ultimate test of my self-esteem and general well-being for the rest of my list, the people I've entrusted this in are who are the ones paid to remotely like and take interest in me - the shop assistants.
 |
| The Surfers (Company based in Huntington Beach, California) How many greetings? 0 I'm never going to the beach to bathe on solid foam ever again |
 |
| The New Yorkers (Founded in Manhattan) How many greetings? 0 This is why 9/11 really happened |
 |
| The Geeks (Corporate operations in San Francisco) How many greetings? 0 iHate this place anyway, it's like the morning person of shops |
 |
| The Kooks (Tufts University is where the company took on the name) How many greetings? 0 No big loss as these guys are like their t-shirts... plain |
 |
| The Australians (Company was founded in Torquay, Victoria, Australia) How many greetings? 0 Just enough anger to take over TV and play Fosters commercials on repeat |
 |
| The Swedish (Hennes & Mauritz is a retail-clothing company from Stockholm) How many greetings? 0 Obviously they've not adjusted to the sun coming over the horizon first time this year |
Not going so well, it just seems like everyone hates me - why retail Lord, why!?
I've a feeling things are getting better, but only to the same as someone walking stamping your toe and you apologising for getting in their way.
 |
| The Italians (based in Treviso, Italy) How many greetings? 1 Shouldn't complain, but this greeting was by no means colourful |
 |
| The Actors (A fashion boutique with stores in Los Angeles) How many greetings? 1 This one was upon exiting the store, just thankful to get rid of me and go back to a busily empty store |
 |
| The Germans (is a German sports apparel manufacturer) How many greetings? 1 WWI is forgiven, II isn't |
 |
| The French (was founded by four brothers raised in Marseille, France.) How many greetings? 1 For the French's reputation for being so accomodating, this is a good result! |
 |
| The Middle Management (Giorgio Armani is an Italian fashion designer) How many greetings? 2 Enough money to care, just not enough to give a shit |
 |
| The Jocks (Founded in the University of Oregon) How many greetings? 2 1 friendly hello but after they realised I wasn't getting new pair of Air Jordans, I was exited with a very lacklustre goodbye and a wedgie |
 |
| The Bavarians (Levi Strauss came from Butt, Franconia, Kingdom of Bavaria) How many greetings? 2 someone almost murmured a "How are you?" - definitely going to visit Bavaria next summer |
These exceptional and lovely people completely help to rebuild my shattered self-esteem back to normal, I was skipping all the way home after being so warmly accepted by these groups, I may hug them next time, yes, all of them!
 |
| The Freshman (Retailer based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) How many greetings? 2 They're paid enough to have two separate in-depth conversations in a busy store, I've never felt so interesting and worldly in all my live! |
 |
| The Hipsters (Originated as "The Free People's Store" in Pennsylvania) How many greetings? 3 I think it's my glasses that help me associate them with me and me with them, like the Borg |
 |
| The Spanish (Desigual is a casual clothing brand based in Barcelona) How many greetings? 6! Wow, I could bounce to the moon on this good mood, but the experience of people coming up to say "Hey" was more like buying a hooker without benefits than buying clothes |
...What the fuck has just happened here?
