Alt text: a text post that reads: Work in retail long enough, and you'll eventually realize the rules for dealing with Customers are exactly the same as dealing with the Fae:
- Avoid eye contact.
- Never reveal your full name.
- Accept nothing They offer you.
- Never verbally agree or disagree with anything They might happen to say.
- To apologize is to acknowledge a debt owed.
- Under no circumstances are you ever to thank Them.
- Remember that They are incapable of reading signs in human languages.
Most people are actually that good, it's just that in the Appalachian mountains the people density is a whole lot lower. Just by being around less people automatically makes you being around less bad people too.
Sure, in the bigger cities you probably have more asshats in general, people are more on-top of eachother so it's easier to annoy one another as well. it's eqaiser to accept and copy certain bad habbits too.
In the same way, of you open up your hood in the middle of nowhere, locals will stop and help because other help ain't coming whereas in the city, people will presume you're waiting for the AAA or a friendly Canadian to give you a leg so they won't stop and help you.
I think that in reality things aren't as black and white as you perceive them to be
I mean, my perception isn’t off about what I know and where I’m at. I don’t disagree with anything you said, I just prefer the kind of people where I’m at.
