I like your comment 'dont go with facial expressions...\" I guess smiling is an artificial expression?
OP just open an account and trying to throw a dust on desis on the platform which was created to help desis. I tried to justified desi’s behaviour and you don’t like it….. I would like to say it is harder to crack a prejudice than an atom.

Are yaar. Kalmadi and Mayawati are not complete desis. To be a complete desi one has to migrate to other continent.

Why complain about others - V r no different than them – I live in Brampton and I never have any issue so far
When we go to store and see desi cashier - the first thing v think of negative --omg he is going to give me bad look and we started behaving like not so polite with them –
in other side of coin - when we see some gora at cashier - the first thing v think of again negative , omg this gora will treat me as bad immigrant
so its not the nationality its our thinking that is the problem - if we act normal with people and dont make any wrong impression then we should not face any problem.
V needs to learn to respect our self-first then we ask for respect from others.... regardless of gora or desi – v r all human and v all have different nature so don’t go with first impression

when a Desi migrates, it is difficult to adjust to the culture..and desis in Brampton stores are most likely new immimgrants. Even if they try to exchange pleasantries most of the customers won't even understand it forget about responding. Now if you go to India and try to smile at stranger you will get frown in response.
I think this is not the case with newer generations. I have come across countless young cashiers, shuttle drivers exchanging nice conversations irrespective of desi or kazakastani...bottomline..when in Brampton don't expect pleasantries also don't get surprised if a desi buys a candy for an ugly toddler because he/she finds the baby very cute.
You raised some good questions. When I go to India I find I do a lot of please, thank yous and usually get nothing, or worse 'grunts' in reply. People just generally stare because i assume they arent used to hearing thank yous???
I find that a lot of other second generation indians arent too polite or even say hello when you get to the front of the line. However, it depends where you are as well - some businesses such as Safeway have stricter expectations for customer service and others dont seem to.
My theory is that you learn your manners from your parents. If your parents are 1st generation desi's who dont have the ability to smile/small talk or have general social etiquette, then it is likely you havent learnt them either. What do you think??
I have seen this in many second generation youth as well. They may or may not be highly educated with many letters after their name, but they often dont have class.
I know im critical, but its so rampant in surrey.....

With all due respect I totally disagree with above statement. It is you who you are and what you do, not parent not child or anyone is responsible...(I know kind of diverting from the subject).
But when you are in completely different culture in fact parents do start to learn the respective manners from children...e.g. desi Child can learn the manners of touching feet from parent but Parent starts to say: :Thank you, Bon appetit after hearing it from child...
It is just that prolly you come across only desis who did not exchange pleasantries whereas I have come across lots of desi students working in shops, garages exchanging small talks with the person in front of them.
Personally i dont like to exchange plesentaries with the cashier.
I want to pay for my stuff and get out of a shop.
THat is why Gora cashiers irritate me by asking silly questions like "did u find everything u were looking for" " is that all for today".
I prefer desi rude cashier .
Paisa deo , saman leo and go home.
I did not go shopping to do social networking.
