Will never forget being told by a South African to “shove your breakfast up your backside” when I was managing a cafe in the mid 2000’s.
We had a breakfast special that she wanted to make so many tweaks and adjustments to (in her favour) and it became a HUGE thing that I had to charge her $1.50 extra.
She asked to speak to the manager. It was I. Th rest is history.

It’s bizarre - nearly every South African over the age of 40 that I met while working in retail was rude. Like there’s so many stereotypes about Indians, Chinese, Irish, English - and for the most part when you meet people originally from these countries they don’t actually fit the stereotypes. But with South Africans it really is.
I had a South African lady scream at me once because I wouldn’t give her a refund…for an item not sold in our store. Like it was a completely different brand - and that wasn’t uncommon.
I’m interested to hear your thoughts on why this happens?

I have been around a lot of them in time. My most recent was living next to a white guy and his family with dual citizenship.
He was an extremely bad neighbour. Inconsiderate, arrogant, selfish. Didn’t think much of taking neighbour’s things for his own use. Wouldn’t share when things got bad during a natural disaster.
He even dug a channel into my yard to redirect water.
In general, he was a shit cunt.
The other white South Africans I have met have been generally ok but arrogant, and that’s the stereotype I know of.
