Just wait about twenty years, Mom and Dad. You ain’t seen nothing yet when it comes to slobbishness and crudity.Heinlein said more than once in his books that loss of good manners was a telling sign of the decay and imminent collapse of a society. I think he may have had a point. Calvin may not have the opportunity to just change the world, but possibly to save it. We all do.

I hate working retail. We have to be polite AND pander to customers, who can be the most entitled piles of sludge imaginable. All the while we have to wear a smile and put forth a friendly, approachable demeanor.
It’s tough to bear, particularly when you’re in a department that sells items you can barely stand, such as guns or Duck Dynasty merchandise. shudder v.v
