Save your breath…. it doesn’t work to lecture the Pennys about The Golden Rule….
The Golden Rule, you see, doesn’t apply to them…it only works with those who acknowledge the existence of other people, and understand that their own actions can affect those others’ lives.
That is all way beyond the Pennys’ powers of observation or understanding.They can’t “Do unto others” if they’re so self-absorbed they can’t sense any interaction at all.
Actually they’re stuck between the seat cushions and that sharp table edge, and they are waiting for the fire department to come unbolt the table from the floor so’s they can stand up.
The end times must be upon us, because, for once, I’m kind of on the Penny’s side. The American habit of restaurants rushing you from your table (“Are you ready for the check”) is an abomination. Might as well eat from a vending machine. At least the vending machine wouldn’t pretend to be your friend (“Hi. I’m Mitzi. I’ll be you server tonight.”) and spend the whole meal returning to harass you with bogus concerns (“Can I get you anything? How was the food?”) that are really just annoying attempts to convince you to leave a fat tip. .I understand, though, that any place these cretins would patronize would have such bad food that any normal human would be eager to flee. But that doesn’t make me especially sympathetic to the equally cretinous bozos impatient to get seated and begin stuffing.
