Καλημέρα. Έχετε και εσείς την εικόνα ότι οι μαγαζάτορες δίνουν περισσότερη σημασία/προσοχή στους τουρίστες από ότι σε έλληνες; Πέρυσι το καλοκαίρι αυτό εισέπραξα….

hard to say, I often come to Samos as a tourist, but I always try to avoid the most touristic places . I can enjoy the restaurants where the Greeks eat sometimes with large families or large groups. I see no difference in how the customer is treated, I would not like it if the tourist gets a preferential treatment .

Yes of course they do. Tourists are able and willing to spend more money so it makes sense to give them more attention

Of course, tourists often receive more attention because many Greeks tend to carry the stress of their daily lives ,work,and situation of Greece into their vacation mindset. Culturally, there’s also a lingering perception among the greeks that waiters are "servants"—especially when they spend 70–100 euros and then occupy a table for 1 to 3 hours without reordering. Unless you've worked in the hospitality industry, it's hard to truly understand this dynamic.we tend to say that Greeks ,even if we are , are the worst costumers. speaking only for the industry.
