I also echo the sentiments above, but it's also important to note that some immigrant shop owners come from cultures where personal interaction is very different. In some areas, concepts of personal space, rudeness, and acceptable behavior (including both how long to stay and how to ask someone to leave) vary widely from United States norms (to say nothing of variances within the US.)
While we may consider some things quite rude, they may be "normal" in the person's home country. Whether or not to discuss this aspect with the shopkeeper is a personal call.

I echo the sentiments above: way to be a stereotypical prick. |
