Rude tourists.
If I'm on vacation in a country I don't speak the language of and I enter a shop and the shop assistant says something to me I assume he or she is greeting me, and I will say hello (in English) back. If the shop assistant says something longer I assume it is in the line of "hello, can I help you with something", and I will also answer him/her.
A lot of tourists just in our shop just ignore you when you greet them, and the Dutch "hallo" is pretty close to the English (a language 99% of the tourists seem to speak) "hello".
