tore, there are enough cash registers to decrease unemployment in my town by at least a percentage point but most of them have the lights off and only 4 out of 35 registers are open.

Have you been accused of being spoiled? I have. Admittedly, I spoil myself regularly. Manicures, pedicures, Day Spa pampering and other things that are no doubt the norm for many others are enjoyed and necessary for me.

Since I spoil myself after working hard, smart and passionately, I have come to expect preferential treatment when I'm spending this hard earned money I make. Nowadays, practically every retailer I infrequent, I am only setting myself up for disappointment, frustration, and astonishment with that great expectation. I typically enter a store humming a song. I do not necessarily like shopping and this puts me in a better mood to do what I must do. I believe if I am going to do something, I should at least put forth a positive attitude and eventually, my mind will psyche the rest of me into some measure of enjoyment. I tend to shop when I have sufficient patience, a high tolerance level and a nonchalant attitude about tackling the task. It usually has to be done and there's no one else about to do it. I forge ahead.

If you are one of those who enjoy shopping, God bless you. I would still wage a year's salary that you want a decent level of customer care and service as you spend your money. So do I. I absolutely abhor the mega-stores! About the only time I enter one of those places is not for me but for something specific someone else needs or wants. I will buy a few things I may need and use the opportunity to push up the steps on the pedometer. It's almost always the same experience.

When I need a clerk, they are usually all huddled together instead of dispersed throughout this mega-monster to give someone like me assistance.

I haven't ruled out becoming independently wealthy (so no, I'm not rich...yet) but I'll pay more money for something if I am getting the attention I need. This does not mean I'm an easy target for a commissioned or noncommissioned salesperson. I'm known as an 'educated consumer'. I will research high-ticket items and compare. I usually know what I want and how much I'll pay for it before going to the store. (I shop via the Internet quite often.) Getting back to my willingness to pay more for being shown some appreciation for even walking in the store. Does that make me spoiled? I think not!

I agree with Mark Twain when he said, "Kindness is the language the deaf can hear and the blind can see." I'm never rude or impolite even if I am treated rudely. At a restaurant today, I wanted French Toast with strawberry topping, no whipped cream. The server informed me they didn't have that particular topping so I ordered peach. I looked about and saw they were featuring Strawberry Shortcake. Ahhh, I thought, there's my strawberry topping. My order was delivered by a "food runner" and I told her I really had my heart set on strawberries. I informed her I passed two restaurants to eat there and was disappointed I couldn't have strawberries. She collected the plate and told me she'd be back in a few. Meanwhile, my server came out to me and told me they were preparing my order and it'd be right out. The same "food runner", also known as Shannon, returned with my French Toas
