I find this really bad when travelling in the US. People think money buys them entitlement. The Nouveau Riche syndrome.
I think it really depends on where you are. Not to get political, but you will find people in the red states tend to be far nicer to strangers than people in the blue states.

Usually only if that stranger is not a minority or LGBT.

I've found that those who are most vocal about other's sexuality are often insecure about their own. Sounds like you're easily threatened.

Not true in most cases. You don't know.

So what's the point? The bravest of gays could've just fucked himself for even more satisfaction, I suppose.
Wow.

Yep, appears to be easily triggered.

How would you go about making such a finding?

The point is that you have very likely eaten semen, feces, and God knows what else with your attitude. You just didn't know it.

That has not been my experience, unless you are flamboyant, then it wouldn't matter if you were just a teen with purple hair. They will still look at you funny. Minorities have not been an issue from my experience either.

I didn't notice that at once: it's you who loves to love himself in public.

There's ALWAYS 2 sides to a story,

just as you have douchebag customers, you have douchebag "attendants"

what grinds my gears is the following:

1> When I go into "any store" and the cashier is totally rude, doesn't say hello, good morning, on the phone, or chatting to his or her ,mate.

I always say good morning, hello, ALWAYS say please and thank you.
I don't help to bag, because, I'm too busy checking the register to make sure there charging me correctly.

NOT RELATED but...
2> When you open a door, help someone (especially a fem.) and they don't acknowledge you , I always say loudly, "YOUR WELCOME"

3> Giving people way.letting people cut in line (in cars) and again no friendly wave

4> I HATE when any fem gives you shit because you forgot to do something for them... be polite etc.

There's a VERY famous saying

"Customers are not an inconvenience, or being in the way, they are HOW you get paid and make money, without CUSTOMERS, you have NO JOB, and customers will go elsewhere"

We all have good and bad day's, I'll always be polite 1st and 9 times out of 10 that works.

Stupidly, I thought people were jerks just because I was young, but now I realize some actually think they are better than any person working in the service industry or any low wage jobs.

Example: Kroger is absolutely slammed busy. There are usually people bagging groceries for you, but there were not enough employees to scan and bag. The lines were 4 carts deep at each register. The setup it such that it’s obvious you’re supposed to bag your own groceries if no one is at the end of the belt.

The cashier, a 16-18 year old kid with a positive attitude, asked how this couple was doing, only to not even get a response. I watched a mid 40s fat douchebag and his fat wife watch the cashier scan all the Cheetos, Doritos, cookies, and frozen dinners they bought and stare blankly as he had to bag everything himself. They also critiqued how he did it and kept demanding for certain things to be put together. This held up the line even more.

I stand there watching this unhelpful asshat and become increasingly pissed thinking about how he’s going to sit in front of the TV with his bag of Cheetos and will wipe his orange stained fingers on the couch cushions in his shitty house while slowly poisoning his diabetic body with processed sugar and fat.

Honestly, how old do you have to be to realize you need to help bag? You’re not only disrespecting the employee, you’re disrespecting everyone waiting in line. Of course, you can’t say shit to people these days because they are insane.

I also went to dinner and noticed no one says please and thank you to servers bringing their food or even look them in the eye when asking for (demanding) something.

I hate people and I hope those servers you disrespect shit in your food.
