Again on bad manners

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 ?
