Rude People

[Nast]

I wonder how they would respond if the cashier repeatedly put their change on the counter for them to grovel at and pick up if they handed the money to the cashier? 

I wouldn't really care. There are ruder things that can be done to you than having a cashier - heaven forbid - handing your money to you indirectly. :/

[The Dark Monk]

Goes up waayyyyyy to the shallow thought of "The way I live my life is better than the way you live yours."
Everybody does it.
Get obar it. ^.^

In response to Patrick Goddamn Stewart.  No I don't think that most people do this intentionally but supconsciously I think that they think that they are supperior and don't need to bother with manners, treating people like they would like to be treated.  I wonder how they would respond if the cashier repeatedly put their change on the counter for them to grovel at and pick up if they handed the money to the cashier?  And to the Scarlett Reaper, you may have your glut on my anger and I would still have more to share with anybody else who wishes to partake.

Suppose those people would prefer you to put the money on the counter and you're the one being rude by handing it to them?

I like to organize my cash on the counter before I put in my wallet.

Maybe you subconsciously think you are superior to people that violate your idea of manners.

Better yet, maybe you subconsciously judge people before they even hand you money. Outside of your awareness you may be behaving (look up micro facial expressions - Paul Ekman) in a way that elicits the money handing behavior that you disapprove of to confirm your earlier judgment of the person in question.

How possible do you think that is?

Having spent many years as a cashier, sometimes it IS rude when people put money on the counter. Not always. It depends on how they do it. Tossing a wad of crumpled ones and change on the counter when you're standing right there with your hand out is rude. Sliding a neat stack of money across the counter, or setting it on the counter while the cashier's hands are otherwise occupied, is not rude.

Some people do prefer to not have direct hand-to-hand interaction, and in that case they will not usually stand there with their hand out expecting their change, they will keep their hands down so that you will put their change on the counter instead of in their hands.

In most ways I think rudeness is just a matter of perspective. I work in a phone center taking in calls and I get tons of people that from my perspective are extremely rude. But I'm sure they feel justified in how they talk to me.

It used to push my buttons pretty good with people like that. Finally managed to get myself to the point that i don't expect manners from anyone.

Although I still try to maintain basic manners myself most of the time. But that's more for my benefit than theirs.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Well, yes, of course it's a matter of perspective! If you're the center of the universe and everyone else only exists to serve you, then how can it be rude to expect them to get it done already?

ALL OF YOU SHOULD SHUT THE FUCK UP AND GET THE HELL OUT OF THIS THREAD, DUMBASSES.

Kai,

Rude motherfucker.

In reply to Net, your probably right.  I haven't thought outside of the tiny little box.  It's cool to get others input to weigh in against my view.  It has a balancing effect.  Thanks to all who bothered to respond to what to many may seem like a trivial matter.  Now I have food for thought.  Now a stupid question, "What are you talking about when you talk about the thread?"

I used to pay for food at the supermarket in all coins, until they forced me to goto the coinstar machine first.

If you make a fuss about it, they can't force you to go to the coinstar. Since a lot of those Coinstars force you to pay a fee to convert your money, they can't obligate you to use them, because that would be akin to them obligating you to lose a portion of your money.. Plus, since all money printed by the government declares itself "legal tender for all debts, public and private," every store must take whatever form of legal-tender currency you have available. The only exceptions are, of course, online and over-the-phone orders which have disclaimers about what types of payment may be used.

I routinely pay my grocery bills in all coins, because that's what I usually have. The grocer made a fuss the first few times, but after standing my ground they relented.

When I was 16, I worked at a bagel shop. I hated that job, I hated waiting on people, and I made up all these great justifications to hate on the customer.

"I can't believe that guy didn't say Thank You, I mean, seriously.


Unrelated: best part of that job was a game I played with coworkers on Saturday morning. When two guys come in, you have to decide

JEW OR GAY?

are they getting bagels after synagogue? or after their all night ass-romp?

What if you encountered a customer that was both?

The trick is to look for wedding rings, and what kind of car they're driving.

Speaking Yiddish would be another dead giveaway too, right?  

I wish I would have had a similar game when I worked in food service. The only thing I could do to pass the time was make arcane encryptions of the prices of pizza on our menu board. When no one else was in the pizza parlor, I would change the prices, like:

"French Fries: $1" became "$10c^2+2(bit*2)"

Work was never boring after finding the mathematical pack food board inserts.
