    Thinking you're discriminated against because of your attire? Don't try to rationalize their behavior by blaming your clothes. The issue is with them, and people like that exist everywhere.

      If there's a dress code, we'd absolutely follow it. But if not, everyone deserves equal treatment, don't they? Even a cleaning lady deserves respect. We're all human beings. It's not like we were dressed inappropriately; we were just out for a stroll.

        Really? Wow, I haven't been back in 6 years.

          You should come and experience it for yourself. A lot has changed here. You don't automatically hear 'Welcome!' (欢迎光临) anymore. Of course, it's not a huge deal, but what was once considered a distinctive local touch is gone. It's not a major issue, just that sense of familiarity has vanished, that's all.

            If they dislike mainland Chinese, that's their prerogative. Just turn around and walk away.

              But I'm Malaysian, and my accent is very distinctively Malaysian, you know!

                When you encounter unfriendly service staff, they treat locals the same way. It's particularly noticeable in Taipei. One time I went to Chanel ('Xiao Xiang') in the Xinyi District, and the sales associate was extremely impatient – the type who looked like she was about to roll her eyes.

                  That's exactly the kind of thing I encountered. So frustrating! 🙂‍↔️ Hahahaha.

                    I used to visit Taiwan almost every year, so perhaps I got accustomed to the local culture and people. After not going back for several years, I find attitudes have shifted. It's not necessarily bad, just something I'm reflecting on with a bit of nostalgia. It's not just them who've changed; we've changed too. Of course, if someone has a bad attitude, that's just an individual issue. Over the past few days, the people in the countryside have been wonderful, though!

                        You don't need a visa! It's visa-free.
