Having worked in retail a few years back, I can say that more the most part your observations are quite similar to my own observations, especially the Arabic/Indian commentary. They love to haggle, and will try to get a deal no matter what. Apparently it's quite normal in their culture to haggle over everything, and they don't really have a concept of how retail works in the U.S. Here, if you see a laptop for $599.99, that means you will pay $599.99 if you want it. It's not a starting point for negotiations. Back when I drove s black and white VW Beetle for a living, every Sunday morning the Indian/Indian-Americans would be lined up 20+ deep in front of the store, jockeying for position in order to get one of the elusive $399 laptops. Of course they would also inevitably want to make a deal on that $399 laptop... "How much for me?" or "How much if I buy today?" were all too common. And the answer was always the the same. "Sir/Mam, the price of the laptop is on the tag, if you want this laptop, that is the amount of money it will cost you. There is no free case and there is no free mouse, and the extended warranty is an additional charge as well" I had to repeat that at least two dozen times ever Sunday morning. It got old fast. I'll add that white people where either very well informed and know exactly what they want or they are completely ill-informed and completely unprepared for making a purchase, there is no middle ground. Either they'll come in, get exactly what they want and get out, or you'll have to metaphorically hold their hand and explain everything to them. Black people largely typically didn't really care about specifics of a product, just will it work or not. They tended to be more brand loyal. Hispanics were a mixed bag. The females tended to be more knowledgeable and had a better idea of what they wanted. The men usually went for whatever was cheapest and readily available. Asians were usually pretty well informed, some impressively so. They mostly knew what they wanted even if it wasn't the best product or best value, they were brand loyal as well. Surprisingly many favored form over function. They would select a technically inferior product for a more aesthetically pleasing, but functionally better product. Good post. I enjoyed reading it.

My lover is from Japan. We tell each other, "Ohayo gozaimasu" in the morning; "Konnichi wa" later in the day and "Konban wa" in the evening. We don't use any word for sir or madam.

Good morning (formal for greeting older people) Ohiyo Gozaimasu (Oh-high-oh Goh-Zay-mah-sue).

Informal, just drop the Gozaimasu (my spelling could be off)

I don't know the other one.
