Etiquette in Mexico
- Slow Down -- The mañana time stereotype is mostly true. ...
- Meet & Greet -- Don't short-circuit the hellos and goodbyes; social values trump time efficiency. ...
- Have a Little Respect -- Mexicans are lavish with titles of respect, so dispense señor, señora, and señorita (Mr., Mrs., Miss) freely.
However, in Mexico, interrupting someone is considered rude and disrespectful. Listening attentively and allowing the other person to finish speaking before responding is important. And sometimes Mexicans can be long-winded talkers. But it's important for you to wait your turn to get your point across.
