Would you like a bag with that?

I just came back from a local convenience store, and I bought four or five items. Did the cashier offer me a bag to help me carry everything to my car? No. It’s typical of the lack of customer service and basic human decency I find in New Mexico. Just yesterday, I was approaching a pedestrian crosswalk near my home. I waited politely and patiently for a woman and her child to cross the road to the park across the street. She and the kid crossed. But not once did she acknowledge me or wave a hand. Ingrate. Then there are the people who work drive-thrus (excluding banks). When I’m done giving them my hard-earned money and they give me food, I expect to hear “thank you, have a nice day.” Instead it’s usually “look out ‘cuz here comes the bag of food and a drink.” Sometimes I say “You’re welcome” just to mock them :)
