I Wonder Why Some People Are So Rude

I wonder if I should just start being rude because being polite isn't helping me.

I was at the library since my home internet is currently down. I walked up to the help desk where two workers were talking. I walked up right in front of them, and they continued talking. I politely waited about 15-20seconds then waved them down like "hellooo". Then i asked for what I needed.

I have never understood why some workers don't even acknowledge people who walk up to them clearly needing help. A simple smile and a ☝( one moment) signal would suffice)...

Lousy customer service is everywhere these days. My guess is, their manager wouldn't appreciate their behavior.

@lasergraph that's why I always try to compliment or praise good service when I occasionally get it - online reviews etc. So rare, sadly.

@Cheesecake I have occasionally found good service and always extend an appreciation for it. Too many fail to understand their customer is the reason they have a job.

@lasergraph spot on ☺

If you act in peace, you increase the peace in the world. If you act in violence, you increase the violence in the world. Other people's behavior is their karma. Your behavior is your own. It's possible being kind to someone who is unkind will soften their heart a bit.

Most people are win the wrong jobs I reckon. But that doesn't mean you DON@T make an effort. Don't be a jerk and take it out on others cos the job bores you.

@metaldog in this instance, im gonna start saying " hi! I thought i was invisble for a second", then prceed with my question/concern.
I think its rude to just walk up and butt in when 2 people are talking. Looks as if that has changed and that people would rather you do so.

@iamnikki I don't understand that kind of rudeness...it's ignorance really and I have no wish to be that small
