I’m a Canadian travelling in Switzerland and just had a very embarrassing time trying to buy veggies.
Here you have to weigh and sticker your veggies yourself in the produce department. In Canada the cashier weighs and prices the veggies for you at the till. With my extremely limited German I could not understand what the Swiss cashier was explaining as she refused to let me buy unstickered veggies…. Eventually she called over another worker who took my veggies back to the produce area and stickered them for me. Meanwhile I was holding up the line at the till. The workers were super kind, helpful and polite - trying to not laugh at my mistake 😅 but I was soooo embarrassed!
Please share your embarrassing travel misunderstandings to make me feel better!
