Add some manners, and they might return!

I walked into a store today, and asked the two Canarians behind the counter how much the BMX bike was in the window. The first looked up at me, and said nothing, the second squinted his eyes, and said ¿Que?
Now forgive me, I am living in Spain, along with 75´000 other expats living in the Canaries. My Spainish isn´t fluent, but I can get by. I asked "¿cuanto euros para esta bicicleta? and pointed, not outside to the road, not up at the sky, but belive it or not, at the actual item I weas intersted in purchasing. My son was also with me, who is fluent Spainsh, and just shook his head in disbelif. Now I have no patience, I don´t beleive in them, patience are what you need when standing in the que at the doctors, not when asking for a price, because you could well be about to give the store owner the money. But this sort of attitude spreads far and wide across the island. I have been in store after store, eaten meal after meal and received such bad service, it has been shocking. When a baby is born in england, and it drops onto the surgeons table, its first words are Thankyou doctor, as he cuts the umbilical cord. Why do the Canarian people refuse to use good manners, and offer such bad customer care. Isn´t it time they woke up from their bad dream, and began to act civilized towards its customers, towards its tourists, and towards its residents. Why should we put up with the Guanches! whom it seems have never passsed the grunting stage when meeting another human being. Im sorry if this post is straight to the point.... arhhh there I go again, using my manners, its just naturally breed into us. They cost nothing, but add them to a sentence and it becomes so much more friendleir, so much more inviting, and so much more business can be made from using them.
Wake up Tenerife.. Please.. and use your bloody manners!
