The new gringo goes into a restaurant expecting good service.

The new gringo goes to a store to buy something and expects the sales person to attend only him

The old gringo knows that while being attended, the sales person will also attend other persons or chat with co-workers

Or deliberately serves the other person beind at the same time just to `iss him off.  Shocked
 
 
Whilst still in the store and being rudely treated the new gringo will expect some kind of eye contact between salesperson and customer.
 
The old gringo expects no eye contact whatsoever and actually expects the attendents head to be facing in the opposite direction when being handed the change.

The new gringo actually expects the sales person to know something about the products he's selling, the old gringo knows the sales person don't and doesn't care.

The new gringo expects the "customer is always right" to be valid in brazil, the old gringo knows this is "the customer is sometimes right" in Brazil.
