English people are an absolute delight to help. They'll almost always try their best to do something without asking for help and when they do, they come across as genuinely thankful.
Cos the owner of the store is very old, we're forced to do lots of extra service and help like people used to do years ago before anyone heard of the concept of fusing the word "self" with the word "service".
My absolute, out and out favourites of the Brits are Cockneys and Scousers. I love them so much that they sometimes get slightly afraid of my shrieks of joy upon spotting them entering the store.
Why do I like them so much? They're completely over the top attitudes. When they ask a question, I genuinely feel like I'm finding some sort of heavenly substance for them purely from the huge deal they make out of it.
"'scuse me mate, would it be at all possible if you could help me find the milk, I can't survive without it and am incapable of finding it myself, without you I'm hopeless" They even hold their hands in prayer as they ask!
This has got to be the most seductive thing any customer can say to a "shop assistant".
...it certainly beats the "Did YOU(personally me of course) decide to hide the milk on customers?!" style questions you'd get from us anyway.
When I show them where it is, there's a plethora of gratitude "ThanksMateBrilliantThanksThanksGreatFuckingGreat! you're a life saver!". They sometimes even hold out their harms for a hug. Naturally, I jump right in and hug them to.

My Missus often uses the words 'self' and 'service' to me after I've had a few, but that's not really here nor there.
I love the English. The Scots scare me though, and I actually don't thing Welsh really exist.
Awww you're just lovely! Sounds like you get the difference between serving someone and giving someone service.
Fair play to you B!
xbox: It's a well known fact the welsh do not exist. I've never seen one. It's England's little joke on the rest of the world.
darragh: Fair play to me indeed.
there's a huge difference though... isn't there?
yeah but you should try and serve them in a restaurant......lovely people.......no tips......gimme rude Germans that tip any day.......
The vast majority of them aren't really restaurant people. Unless a store called something along the lines of "Fi h&C ips"
Give me a Scottish accent any day! Yummy!
Aw bless you all. Such nice things (except the tips - I do tip, honest Guv!). People here in Cavan always say that they like my 'BBC Newsreader' accent - and there's me thinking that it was everyone else that had accents and not me!
Hehe, people still tip? Hmmm
