Jamaican restaurants in the USA: are notorious for service without a smile and for the workers looking like they want to be anywhere else than earning their living. It's annoying. (I am Jamaican, by the way) I often wonder whether business owners know how much business they lose because of the lack of customer service. We need to do better, even when our lifestyles have been more laid back than the Western lifestyles.

[@Santanasendsshotts]

Nah facts love my Jamaicans but they being looking mean and rude the female workers

I’m from Africa was born and raised in Liberia and I agree customers service doesn’t exist in Africa. I love Africa but our customers service needs a lot of work, but as many of are returning to the continent will help with new ideas of doing things. For me Africa is home and I have learned to deal with it.

[@tyali84]

That's where the fault is. I'm South African and we have amazing customer service. The fault is generalizing an African experience instead of limiting it to that particular place.

​@Charlotte Motsepe TBH That is the result of Westernization due to colonialism. If it was not for that, would SA be any different in that respect from other African countries?

[@obieWanmotivation]

@@tyali84 South Africa is a bit of an outlier due to the European influence in your culture. In Nigeria, we generally have a poor record or appreciation of customer service value. Certainly, there are some business enterprises that practice good customer service (in Nigeria) but they are vastly in the minority. Real talk.

[@APOLO-oq3ce]

And American customer service doesn't need work . You sure needs alot of learning. My experience we got way better customer service in Uganda than across united States. Here most businesses are owned by white Americans and most of them don't even want you in their stores. They have been programmed that they are doing you a favor.

@daemanelprince7763 America is a nation of immigrants, and everyone in America has an indigenous origin and put their place off origin first before the place they immigrated to, such as Polish American, Italian American, Chinese American, etc. etc. except for Black people who are destroyed for the lack of knowledge of themselves, if you are descriptivly black and indigenous to America no problem; just don't say that you are Indian because you will make yourself out to be a fool if you are not more specific with your American identity, if you are part of those who have been forcefully brought here from the Eastern hemisphere and can identify with the continent of Africa why would you settle to be an American with a description instead of an American with an identity, with a place of origin that you can identify with like every other American? I'm just saying.

Oshay you are right. Lots of Africans in America say negative things about Africa, I mean some. But I think this base on personal experience of interacting with other Africans. I met Europeans who also say crap about Europeans. Oshay you are right.

[@ivorlett4253]

She is right! Handle it with care and grace.we need to preserve the authenticity and spirituality of Africa.if its destroyed and not honored how will we be able to remain a unique people?

Agree with ODJ native Africans overseas have very negative views about the continent including the ones that returned hence keep going back and forth.

[@akwaetteettekambaetiowo.1924]

It's because most of them are survivals of the African leadership and soft touching oppressive systems against the people

[@Daron7181]

I agree with Oshay. It’s not because I’m a AA too, but because I understand his and her perspective. She wasn’t trying to be condescending and baby Africa. She was saying for people to use tact and respect whenever talking about Africa.

[@faheemfaquir1024]

Great show!

[@aetjr69]

Great discussion, as always. My only comment is that I am annoyed with any bad behavior we have to accept, because it is Africa. Folks in any developing country will feel as if it is ok to scam you and you must just accept it. I understand that if I am scammed, there is nothing I can do about it. However, why should that even occur? People scam because they know they can and get away with it. If the system allows it to happen, then people feel like it is an acceptable thing to do. It is NOT acceptable. Good and ethical business should transpire, without a need to scam a person. For instance, if I am scammed by someone in Uganda, and then again by someone else, and repeated several times, then I may think this normalized behavior is too much for me and I may not wish to be in Uganda. The response to this decision will be met with "well, if you can't take it, then leave." That is so damn ignorant, because it forces you to accept bad behavior because it is a normal thing. I get victimized and I should accept it, just tolerate it, because it is the culture and everyone gets scammed. Naw man, we should never tolerate such behavior, and scamming should not be a normalized thing for people to deal with. That is theft. I pay you to do a service and you take my money without delivering the service, because this is the culture and I have to accept it. My money is gone and I have to find more money to start all over again. Not good at all man, and for anyone to tell me to "leave" if I do not like being robbed, is part of the problem.

Great session. My interpretation of the lady's comments is not to run to social media to complain as soon something happens such as a crime. Crimes are committed on tourists everywhere including in Europe and America. On the flip side our brothers and sisters on the continent need to work on the accountability issues Oshay mentioned. It will go a long way in bridging the gap. Keep the sessions.

The guy in the red shirt had my sentiments at the start. She was speaking as if africa was a baby. But we see the same thing in the USA!

I believe it is okay to have standards and differences just research before u go so tht u r not disappointed. Everyone is allowed standards but when Americans have them….. SHAME!

[@josho5860]

As an African American, I am really struggling to understand how he and you took her comment as speaking of Africa as a baby. The guy in red made that statement and then literally turned around and essentially expressed a sentiment that was in line with what she was saying. She was saying that African Americans should not be overly critical of countries in Africa because there are problems everywhere but some African Americans, due to some’s internalized racism, express frustration with something that happened in Africa in such a way that reinforces negative stereotypes about African countries and black people in general. To take care means to be thoughtful in how you treat something. Maybe it’s a cultural thing but I would have thought her sentiment would have been well received because she was actually holding her own accountable.
