Since living in CA, I have learned: Persian culture does not teach being nice to workers

It is truly unbelievable how rude Persians are to workers, waiters, sales associates, etc. you notice it everywhere and it honestly irks me.

They never sound friendly, don't say thank you, and honestly are so nitpicky and always feel the need to complain. They find things wrong with everything.

This goes beyond customer service. Our firm almost lost a real estate deal because the Persian buyers melted down over the type of toilet seat covers

I'm guessing this cultural rudeness comes from the fact that most Persians moved here during 1979 revolution and are descended from nobility who are used to treating people like trash.

That’s why I like working with people from India over some other groups (I’m fricking looking at you Canada and fricking UK). Most of the people I have worked with who have come to the US are very willing to assimilate. I actually heard “Merry Christmas” more from Asian people this year than white people actually.

Their was a guy that owned a restaurant around here that was middle eastern of some sort. I'm not positive that he was Persian but I know for a fact that he was an a-hole. The way he talked to the young girls waitressing in there was pathetic. I stopped going because of that. Always hoped I would hear a story of one of their fathers going in there and knocking his teeth out.

conflict just seems to be a big part of those Mediterranean cultures

bartering, scheming, random angry outbursts etc, all seem common or all of those cultures (Arabs, Persians, Armenians, Greeks, Lebanese, etc)

that culture just has very little chill

We had a Persian friend who somehow got stuck paying $25 for his and our shots. Still will not talk to us even after offering to give him cash.

Persians are very very petty people.

frick you. Cajun trash like you aren't even worthy enough to serve people of Persian decent. Trash like you is closer on the evolutionary scale to apes than to Persians.

Spend some time around Algerians and Lebanese and get back to me. Confrontational and angry 24/7. Just generally unpleasant people to be around.

Persians are assholes. We recently had a work meeting out of town and there was a Persian metrosexual in the meeting that complained about anything and everything to do with the US. If I were not employed by the same company I would have enjoyed shoving my fist into his pretentious face.

They are an understated people who value humility and deprecation. You might be offending them with gaudy American branding and overwhelming eu de perfume.
