[QUOTE="4sumrzn, post: 150077, member: 4133"] Oh, I agree....it has changed SO MUCH!!! Being on the other side for 13 years dealing with every type of person that NEEDED their drugs that day.....it was very hard sometimes to bite my tongue, keep a smile on my face, but I did the best I could & occasionally let things slip when people were just TOO nasty! But, 99% of the time I made sure to ask "may I help you?", "how are you today" & finish with a "have a wonderful afternoon" or "I hope you start feeling better soon". I sure as heck don't hear that on this side at all!!! I'm constantly, as the customer/patient, being the one who wishes the person a good afternoon/evening! My husband started opening my car door for me 20 years ago when we started dating & still does to this day...he ALWAYS opens the door for me & expects me to stand at the door if I beat him to it. We have stopped many times to help people that could use an extra hand. We have raised easy child to hold doors open for everyone that's following behind (he's only been left outside by accident once....too many people piling in....lost him for a few there). I don't even hear excuse me anymore when people ram into my grocery cart or bump into me in lines......STILL always ME saying "I'm sorry" or "excuse me" even though I was the one that was hit. I suppose I am proud of myself for not being the pi$$y hateful person on the other end of the phone & being the one that surprises them by telling them to have a wonderful day after they were being rude to me. I will admit though....if someone really gets under my skin being rude, I can't always "hold back" especially those ones I mentioned that look at me like I jumped in front of their grocery cart & said "please run into me". I still say "excuse me" & they give the big "grunt".....my mouth normally runs a bit then. Can't help it after I tried to be polite for something I didn't do...I let 'em know!
