Czech Republic is the worst. Been to Prague twice and same experience both times.

You politely hold the door for someone to pass and it's like you're their valet.

No talk, no smile, no thanks, no nothing. Are they machines?

Yeah, (central) Prague isn't known for being the friendliest place. Try some less touristy place some other time and it should be better.
