During my college days I worked the counter in several 7-11 types stores and had pretty much the same attitude. Now that those days are behind me, I try to not get testy when the 5th clerk today gives me a nasty leer when I tell her that I’ve already done my part.
On another note, FPIRG (a Florida based group of tree huggers) was soliciting a while back. They were allegedly raising funds for a specific cause that was near and dear to me so when the guy appeared at the front door, I wrote him a check and explained that this was a one-time donation – I didn’t want to appear on any of their mailing or calling lists. Within 10 days FPIRG’s national parent group called me based on the fact that I was a known contributor to the cause and asked me to make another donation.
assholes…
