I think you can tell a lot about a person by the way they treat people they think don't matter.
People in the service industry, for example.
If you treat your waiter/waitress/bartender/cleaning lady/store clerk/gas station attendant/what-have-you like they are a total idiot...well, I already have my opinion of you.
It seems lately in my experience I have noticed this a lot. People being very unkind to cashiers and waiters and such. As a store clerk, I get very offended by this. Excuse me, but just because I am a store clerk does NOT mean that I have the IQ of a grapefruit.
I challenge you to an IQ test any day. Punk.
Anyway, this is my rant today, since I witnessed a guy being a royal pain in the derriere to the cashier today at the grocery store.
Oh! That brings me to another point.
Just because we're young, that does NOT mean we're idiots. It makes me want to scream when I tell someone the answer to a question they've just asked, and they seem hesitant to believe me...but when someone 20, 30 years older than me tells them the same damn thing, they believe them.
Hello? Didn't I just say that? Oh, I did? And so did she? Well, then, that means I was right, now doesn't it?
Argh!
Moral of today's story:
If you are not nice to the young people in the service industry, I will, without doubt, consider you an absolute ninny. I will scowl, I will shoot you a look, I will glare, and I might even snarl.
Because you, my friend, are a first-class nincompoop.
That's all.
