1. Restaurant workers in Spain are not entitled to try to coax anybody into their restaurants other than standing still and smiling next to their board advertising meals. If you ask for the Complaints Book it must be provided. You can enter a complaint and the police examine the book every few days. It is at least fifteen years since any restaurant worker asked me to enter their premises.
2. On Kos, restaurant workers can welcome you and even show your their blackboard menus - nothing more. They are heavily fined or closed down for repeat offences towards passing people. I hear this is the case in all Greek Islands now.
3. Turkey. They all but pull you into their restaurant. Make it to your advantage "Why should I eat here and not next door?" Your desserts will probably be offered free.
4. France - They couldn't give a whit if you eat in their restaurant or not. How could you not see this is the best restaurant in the world?
5. Belgium - their faces alone would keep you away from the restaurant.
6. Italy - The colour of their food alone entices you to enter.
7. Germany - Here's a happy medium on how you should be greeted - smile and positive body language only with pristine clean restaurants.
8. Ireland - The price alone says "Begone, you primitive bacon & cabbage cretin" and How dare you avail of the Early Bird and you must vacate by 8.00pm. "And don't bother puttin' a review up on Tripadvisor."
