How Items May Be Viewed and Examined
- Build rapport before the transaction — Algerian guests tend to prioritize relationship over speed when engaging with staff.
- Always use your right hand to pass or receive items — this is a firmly held cultural norm.
- Bargaining instincts may show up even in fixed-price settings — Algerian guests may test price flexibility before committing.
- Never point a finger at a guest or product — use an open hand to direct instead.
- Algerian guests may examine items slowly and deliberately — rushing or hovering during that process may feel disrespectful.
- Avoid anything that publicly embarrasses a guest — honor and dignity are deeply valued and very easily damaged.
