A friend of mine went to one of the Westerner-friendly, touristy 
provinces of China for a holiday. Whilst there, he decided to sample some 
Chinese beer and bought a crate of the stuff from a small off-licence 
type of shop. A few days later, he poured some into a glass to sample and 
found leaves from some plant or other in it. The next day he returned the 
crate to the shop for a refund. The girl behind the counter exploded into 
a blind rage, throwing cans and bottles at him then chased him down the 
street screaming obscenities in a shrill, high-pitched voice whilst 
beating him around the head with one of her shoes.
Up until I heard about this, I'd always believed Germany 'enjoyed' the 
worst customer service reputation in the world. Mind you, this was a good 
few years ago so maybe Germany's top again by now.
