If I said it once, I've said it a million times... I don't like to be "greeted" when I enter a store and be coerced into getting into a conversation.

I feel like I get singled out by retail employees who think they are doing something epic by greeting me at the door the moment I walk in, smile at me, welcome me in, and want to chat with me. I am all for being social and being friendly, but I'm not going into a store for chit-chat. And I never know what to say so the whole encounter ends up becoming awkward. It's all so unnecessary.

Expect even more of that. This is a dog eat dog economy.

The rich places want to assess your worth and either cater to you or get you out. While the poorer places are suspicious of everyone.

@DeWayfarer Well, I don't like it. And it's not encouraging me to spend more. So, there is that.

@MarkPaul and Trump is complaining about people like us.

I can't spend a dime extra.

@DeWayfarer Well, I have money to spend... but not if I am being forced into social situations that I haven't chosen for myself.
