Two observations:
(1) When asked by shop assistants if I'd like a bag (same happens in China) I usually decline, and I understand the reason why they ask. However, they then ask if I'd like a receipt?
I'm immediately thinking to myself.. No bag/no receipt = I'm treading into shoplifting territory, surely?
Without a receipt how could you ever exchange or get a refund for faulty goods?
(2) Customer service wherever I went was faultless. Shops, bars, cafés, they were unbelievably helpful and polite.
I was really impressed with the diversity of shops too.
So it's definitely a thumbs up from me for Cardiff city centre.
