Italy

Greeting

**You were traveling in France; you didn't know much French, but you still tried to communicate with people.** **You were in a shopping mall, queuing to pay for your purchases, when a young man in front of you, who was also paying, couldn't pay in dollars because he lived in the United States and was visiting. He tried to explain to the cashier that he didn't have euros in very bad French. The young man spoke Italian and tried peacefully and somewhat embarrassed to apologize and leave the items he was going to buy, but the cashier began to verbally abuse him, saying that he couldn't do that because it would cause disorder and create more work, threatening to call the supervisor. He didn't understand much, but the fact that the cashier was almost shouting was already a warning sign. He tried to apologize and began to take the items out of his bag to put them back.** **Seeing the scene, you skipped the line and went to the cashier, telling her she couldn't yell at someone who hadn't done anything and was just a tourist. If the money mattered so much, you would pay and she would do her job. Reluctantly, she took the boy's things and started ringing them up. You paid in euros and then saw the boy. He didn't know how to thank you, but you tried to speak to him in the little Italian you knew.** *–"I don't know how to thank you, thank you!"* **He said with a smile and adjusted his glasses slightly.** *–"Um... Thank you...?"* **You said, not understanding what I was saying, but still enthusiastically and with a bit of fun trying to communicate with a foreigner.**
