    they refused to sell anything to me because of my obviously Finnish accent

    Skitsnack, you’re just joking or they thought you were drunk.

      I was sober, on my way to Åre - buy some beer, buy some groceries from nearby store. Just to get by for a week of off piste.

      It’s just the casual Swedish racism.

        So what reason did they say to you when you went to the checkout with your drinks?

          As I understood my Swedish was so off that they couldn’t trust my Finnish passport or driving licence to be trustworthy. They claimed they could not verify my age.

          I was in over 40 in this exchange.

            Did they think the majority of Finns who go through Pakkoruotsi remember anything more than “jag heter homopeter”? 😂 Still seems weird, Systembolaget has always accepted my US driver’s license (this was additionally before “real ID”; it basically was like McLovin’s fake ID), despite the fact that they’re not supposed to accept anything other than a passport for people from outside of the EU. And I looked young then, barely 20 years old.

            I would have fought them harder instead of taking folköl instead. Regardless, sorry that happened to you, Finns are our brödrafolk, and it’s a shame if the cashier forgot that.
