Dear Customer (Part deux)

Dear Customer,

Thank you for acknowledging my "Hello" and responding with your own greeting. If I compare you to the customers who ignore me when I say hi, I'd say I don't dislike you as much as I do them. If you're wondering why there's a part of me that still dislikes you, here's why.....you may have said hello, but you did it with your BACK to me.

Personally, I don't understand this. I don't think I have ever spoken to someone without turning around and looking at them. It makes me wonder about you people. I bet you're one of those parents whose kids are always jumping at your feet asking you questions and you either ignore them or don't look at them when you're talking to them. Did your parents do that to you and now you think it's okay to do the same to other people?

Don't get me wrong, I do appreciate you saying hello....like I said, I don't dislike you ask much as I do the others who just ignore me. I just can't fathom not turning around to see/look at the person I'm speaking to. Those colanders you're looking at aren't soooooo fantastic that you can't take your eyes off of them.

Some people may not think this is an issue (you're probably one of them), but I just think it's plain rude to speak to someone without looking at them.

::*Looking away*:: Have a lovely day!

Dear Customer,

When you walk into the store and I greet you with a friendly "Hello", please acknowledge my "hello". It's the nice and proper thing to do. You don't have to respond with the same greeting, there are a variety of things you could say. Like....."Hey", or "Oh, hi", or "Bonjour", or "Yo yo", or even just simply hit me up with a smile.

Sometimes when you don't respond, I think...maybe they didn't hear me, I'll give it another try. But when you don't respond to my second and louDER "Hello", I think....damn, you're just plain rude.

I realize that some of you are weird and afraid of social interactions, but most of you that don't respond just choose not to.

Maybe the next time one of you asks to use the bathroom because you're about to pee in your pants, I'll just pretend not to hear you....like you pretend not to hear me.

Have a great day!
