I remember a waitress in Switzerland who could simply not understand a German speaking fluent hoch Deutsch … I could understand him but she could not. I think it was a case of he isn't speaking my dialect so I don't give a damn … she may have considered him a lesser being because anyone who spoke hoch Deutsche instead of Schweizer Deutsche didn't come from her country.<br>
