Some people can be so rude!

I have noticed more customers being rude to people who work with the public in the past week than I have seen in a very long time. On my way home from picking up my supper tonight, I stopped by a gas station to get something to drink. The lady in line in front of me decided to get mad at the lady behind the counter all because she didn’t have enough money to pay for her items. I’m sorry, but when did that become the lady behind the counter’s fault?! Seriously lady, show some respect and don’t get mad at her for your own stupidity.

What is wrong with people these days? It’s like they think they have the right to talk down to others and be rude to them just because they aren’t getting their own way or they are having a bad day. I went to another store a few weeks ago, and the lady in front of me was screaming on her cellphone, cursing out the person on the other end – all of this while the lady at the register was trying to ring up her items. I’m just amazed at the lack of tact some people have in our society. Have they ever thought about being nice to someone for a change? It’s amazing how responsive and positive others will be to you when you do the same for them. I know we all have bad days, but that doesn’t give people the right to be rude to anyone and everyone who comes across their path. (I will now step down from my soapbox. (c: )
