TRUE OR FALSE

When shopping in Guatemalan markets, it is customary for tourists to address the seller as SEñOR or SEñORA.

false?

True! And this is where you had better understand the difference between the formal (usted) and the familiar (tú). I had an American friend who was at the open-air market in Puerto Rico, addressed the butcher as "tú" and the wife took after her with a meat cleaver!
