I just couldn’t help but laugh at this. I always feel like I’m being looked at funny, like it’s pretty obvious I’m not actually a Dane. But at the same time, it’s not like I really look any different. And cashiers at stores and restaurants and everything still speak danish to me before they realize I don’t understand, then they switch to english. But then there’s this… this is my receipt from getting coffee at Baresso yesterday. Evidently it’s even more obvious than I’d realized. I guess I might as well get used to it.
TURIST!

Lol, at least they didn’t charge you anything for "!!!TURIST!!!".
I wonder why they put that on there, maybe they run some statistics in their computer system to see how many non Danish speakers come to their cofee shop. Not sure why they would put it on the receipt though.
