I know this will sound like bullshit, but it is the truth. I went to the store yesterday to buy a bottle of wine. My dad called. We have been having problems with my 90 year old aunt who lives on the opposite coast. She doesn't have a computer nor a smartphone. Yet multiple hundreds of $$ charges to her account from Amazon. She herself said the people next door are stealing from her and charging things from her. Long story I know but this was my truth. Should I have hung up on my father or this conversation only so as to I was not to be rude to the person ringing me up and to who's establishment I was paying money to and in some part paying their salary? This is the only reason I replied to this because it was just my reality. And I know all the people that work there, and the man that usually checks me out gave me a dirty look. But, don't assume everyone is rude and don't assume you can know what is going on in their lives. An encounter at a check out line can't break someone or spoil their day unless they have very low self esteem. Live and let live and believe that people are doing the best they can.
