What's with the Attitude?

So I went to Harmon's today to get my vegetables and I just love everything about Harmon's. I found all the veggies I was looking for and more, they were fresh and crispy, etc. I spun around to the area where they sell the Cuisinart appliances and other kitchen gadgets and struck up a conversation with an employee about cooking a roast. That led to pressure cookers, then to coffee machines and inevitably life. She offered wonderful customer service, but then again I just expect this from Harmon's. So at last my shopping trip was over and I headed for the checkout, I chose the shortest line and browsed the tabloid magazines until my turn. Well I'll be if I didn't get a checker with an attitude! I'm always very polite; however I give them a chance to greet me as it's in their job description. She had a bad attitude at go and I was so disappointed...she didn't even ask me if I wanted stamps or ice. I'll give her one thing though; I got my bag credits without asking.

Chick-fil-A, a gas station and Hungry Howie's Pizza

I made purchases from these retailers today and I have only one thing to say..."It was my pleasure". I say this because that is the farewell used by Chick-fil-A, and it really bugged me. I don't want to be fed your greasy, delicious chicken and told it was your pleasure frying it up and putting it in the bag. All I ask for is a genuine greeting and farewell, even if it's "Hello & Goodbye".
We're lucky this is all I have to say today...until tomorrow.
