We were in Antalya on our honeymoon and bought a large item to take home.When the shop owner arrived at our hotel with the package, he said to me 'Are you American?' I replied 'yes' he then asked 'Are you famous?'. My wife put her fingers to her lips and said 'shhh, we are trying to have some privacy away from the press'.
We don't know who he thought I was, or what he said to the hotel staff, but we had brilliant service at the hotel after this.
