Goodwill — Local services in Tbilisi

Entering Goodwill supermarket. Seeing a stand with wine on offer. Stop. Check. A lady shows up: "This is very good wine" - OK (I appreciate the opinion, and why is this good wine?); "This wine is red wine" - OK (I can see that, it's written on the label); "This is dry wine" - OK (that's what the label says); "This is Georgian wine" -  OK (again, the label ....);  "This is very good wine" – OK (You said that before.) Thank you, I appreciate the recommendation. Now I'd like to have a look myself (zillion of bottles here). "But this is very good wine, you should buy it". - ? Thank you, I’d like to have a look around. After: Buying all kinds of things, coming back to the wine area a couple of minutes later. Another lady: "Are you looking for a specific wine?" - No, thank you, I'm just looking around. "OK" - she leaves. Checking on various wineries - year, grape, region - choosing one. Turning around: The lady from the beginning again, excited: "Why do you choose this wine?!" -  Because I want to (feeling interrogated). "But why" (she's looking back to the bottles at the entrance) -  Because I want to. Feeling the need to escape. Hard to endure the disappointed look. Thinking: Why not offering a sip of the "very good wine"? Why not provide more details, such as grape, taste, year, region, any other details (handmade, crafted, family business for the last 500 years, whatever?) Why the aggressive selling attitude? I'm not used to this. I won't come...

I bought a drink from this market, but the bottle was sticky. All the bottles on the shelf were the same sugary sticky stuff. I took it to the cashier. I tried to ask the cashier to give me a cloth to wipe the bottle, but she wasn't interested. Before putting it in my bag, I insistently asked them (3 cashiers) to give me a wiping cloth, then I saw a wet yellowish napkin at the checkout counter and I wanted to wipe it with it, but the cashier started yelling at me "this is my napkin with which I wipe the rotating cashier counter, you can't touch it". I tried to say, "Can I have a little bit of your market's product is dirty and I want to wipe it" and the woman protected her dirty wet napkin in such a way that I couldn't understand. Then she tore off a piece and gave it to me, I wiped the bottle in front of her and put the wet dirty napkin back. The woman yelled at me as if I had wiped the poop and handed it back to her. I took it and threw it in the trash can next to her leg and she shouted again, I didn't understand why the cashiers were...

Smaller store but a big variety of items on the shelves. Neat and tidy store. Dont go during lunchtime. Queues ridiculously long during this time. And as usual, staff at ready made food counter is not all interested in serving you if you look like a foreigner. You will be ignored even when you try to get their attention by actually speaking Georgian. Must say that this experience for me, is usually from the young male employees. Today there were 2 gentlemen. One leaning against the counter doing nothing. Totally ignored me although looking straight at me and even when i nicely asked him in Georgian, if he could assist me, he still just stared at me and ignored me. The 2nd gentlemen who was busy with repacking food items, looked at him, shook his head, left what he was doing and came to help me. The excuse here in Georgia seems to be they are paid very small salaries and work long hours that is why they are rude or aggressive. No excuse for...
