Surly ones that insist on staring at you as if they wish you would die the entire time they're "helping" you. (This comprises about 95% of the workforce.) 2. Ones that think it's funny and/or cute that you're not from here and are making a lame attempt to communicate with them in Russian. So, since I was lucky enough to get one of the latter types, she was giggling at me the entire time I was checking out. I'm just not sure if it was because of my foreign-ness, my purchase, or a combination of both. Well, Ukrainian “customer service professionals” come in two varieties:
