I am a Native/Native. American Indian and Floridian and VERY proud of it. If you don't like us please leave.
I lived in New Hampshire for a year back in 1983, was so glad to finally leave there.
if northerners are "rude" its because we have to put up with people that work in Florida and they do not know how to wait on people, they don't smile, throw there change back at them and if you go into the grocery store (which are small and not well kept) you have very long lines, and the cashiers are talking among themselves, and going so slow that it takes them at least half an hour to check a person out, and they may only have a arm load of stuff, then they stop to talk to each other and take a sip of water, and saying stuff like "I wonder if I can go on break"
So before you call someone rude and crude, you should take a look in a mirror cause i am sure the face u see will be none other than yours, and remember who keeps your economy going in Florida as we get poor service.
I think I will take this opportunity to suggest maybe it's YOU that needs an attitude adjustment, lol. I lived in Missouri, and frankly, the people in that state are not thrilled with their Illiniois neighbors. As one of those people in Florida who you think are rude and crude, let me say, you must have never been in one on my lines...or if you were, you were one of those who tried my patience to the limit. I did my job, and did it well. I didn't complain while you hunted around in your cheesy purse, or worse yet, pulled your money out of your bra, while everyone else waited in line behind you. I counted your change back to you, and thanked you, asking you to come back, hoping you didn't.
You get back what you give. I'll just bet you were the one talking nasty about "all those Mexicans who should learn to speak English." You'd be surprised how many do, but prefer to stick to Spanish in the stores, so they don't have to deal with rude and crude people like the ones who talk about them like they are deaf.
Since we were not allowed to have water at our registers, don't know where you got the idea we are standing around sipping it. What were you drinking before you came in? Yes, I am sure that you are just as welcome up in Illiniois, as you are in Florida. And I doubt we miss any of the money you spent. I don't know where you stayed, but I am betting it wasn't Ft. Myers, Sarasota, St. Augustine, Venice, Pensacola, etc. But you come on down....we will be glad to let you try again. THis time bring manners.
Boy what a racist and a hypocrite, talking about Mexicans, i never said a word about them.
I bet you were fired from your job for talking like that about people and thats why i can't stand Florida, people like yourself, at least i had money to stuff in my bra, you live in florida you must be on welfare and don't have a bra to put money in. You're the one who needs to learn some manners, i'm surprised you know how to count.
No, I'm not a racist. Unlike you, I like most people. And I don't go around talking about them like you have. Maybe you should reread just what you wrote about the people who live down here, and just how insulting you were, and are, about the people who work down here.
Me on welfare? No dear, I am not. I have worked since I was 14. Now that I am unable to work, thanks to an unfortunate round with cancer, and having finally been bested by congenital arthritis, I can no long stand those hours at the cash register, waiting on people. But make no mistake, I am still far friendlier than you appear to be. I do not bad mouth the hard working people who do hold down these jobs. I have over the years, worked in hospitals, worked as a waitress, and while in college, as a cocktail waitress, to pay for my classes. And not in a dive, either. I worked in a REAL sports bar, lol....where all the baseball, football, hockey, etc players came in, and were treated like real people, and not just sports figures. Joe Torre even gave me a nickname, and not one I am sure YOU would love to give me. I also worked for a doctor, as a paraoptometric, for 12 years. I worked for a Sociology Professor in college, helped him with his PhD thesis, and wrote an Sociology Honors course for him, including the lectures and tests. My GPA, 4.0. Dean's list, all the way through. Yes, dear, I can make and count change.
I do not assume that people of other races, religions, sexes, sexual persuasions, or who live in states other than mine are "rude and crude" simply because I might be dissatisfied with my lot in life. Maybe because my outlook on life is such that I am not unhappy with myself, and therefore do not have to look down my nose at everyone else.
I have never been fired from a job. My bosses were sorry to see me leave, and went out of their way to extend my medical leave as long as they could, so that I could receive quarterly payouts along with the rest of the employees. They have told me that my job is there, if I ever feel up to coming back. And since I decided again reconstruction, if I were ever tacky enough to put my money in my bra....it would probably fall thru. I prefer to carry mine in a purse, thank you. Cashiers REALLY HATE handling money carried in bras....ask them sometime.
So, I am sure you will find something nasty to come back with. I know Ellen is just waiting eagerly, lol. But know this, you are stuck up there in Illinois, while we here in Florida are enjoying just simply gorgeous weather today. Cool mornings, wonderful sunshine, beautiful flowers and foliage in bloom. I went out to yard sales this morning, and just EVERYONE was happy and smiling. As my southern friends all say...You all come now, ya hear?
