Dont really know the actual context, but It is disturbing to me if the person in the service industry shows differential treatment based on race, nationality, and social status. How can the counter person be rude to the Indian person just because he asked for the price? Again, I have to reiterate that we don't know whether the Indian guy is rude or not. But if the client is polite, why should he be treated differently from the Chinese guy before him?
We know that people in service industry judge us based on how we are dressed and sound. It seems to be a global norm. How sad the world has become!
