I ordered breakfast today at a small restaurant on the campus
of the University of Rhode Island. The restaurant employs mostly
students -judging from their topics of conversations and their
bad manners .
Just as I was handed my breakfast, I heard the 20 something
counter girl say loud enough for every customer to hear : " In
just two months, I'll never have to serve food to anybody again ! "
Well EXCUSE ME -a paying customer - for making your present
life so unpleasant !
Her rudeness was followed by inane babble about getting
married someday in a rose garden in Scotland, the unattractiveness
of a male customer who had his hair too long or too short, a
young post man -lacking ambition - who was too fond of older women...
etc.
The girl will be attending Emerson College in Boston. A
future obnoxious thespian, perhaps ? Or the dear wife of some
infatuated fool ?
Am I still idealistic in believing that people ultimately
get what they deserve in life ?
What does Miss Manners think ?
