A woman at my local grocery store was almost fired for calling a customer, “Hon.” As in, “How’re you doing today, Hon?” The customer made such a fuss, the clerks now barely make eye contact with customers unless they know them. I have also heard customers complain to clerks for saying Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas. One clerk was Jewish judging from the star of David brooch she was wearing. She just apologized to the angry woman who berated her. This is no way to treat neighbors. When a person makes the effort to say something nice, throwing it back in their face is not only rude, but to do it in the name of Jesus, a man known for his compassion and love for humanity, is obscene. I don’t want the non religious dictating to the religious, but I also do not want the religious to be abusive to those who are non believers or who have a different faith system. Respectfully, & Happy Holidayze, C. C.
Ten years of retail employment taught me that if people gave others as much respect as they demanded from them, the world would be a remarkably better place. Pardon me if I don’t hold my breath, though….
C Downs, . In Maine the word is Deah (like Dear, It’s where the Ahs go when their covered over with an “r” in New Englandese. Like when Kennedy would say “Africar”) the first few times I was called it I didn’t notice, then I noticed and thought my aftershave was working! . But I eventually found out that Dear is just the way they do it up theyah. . For some reason I found this link long ago, occasionally there are a few good ones, but just as funny are the sales people who are complaining when it’s just that they have no clue as to what being polite and helpful is about The customer is not always right
My favorite “idiot” was a woman whose kid was acting up in the store. She told him"if you don’t behave, that man is going to spank you!" Almost 40 years ago, and I stil remember it !

@C Downs, and @ Wolf:
Thank you. Said eloquently, and points well worth making. Thanks again.
And tell my good buddy Bill O’Reilly the same thing if you get a chance. I’m sure he’ll be open to changing his tune….
