Putting the divider down is also polite. Why are we expected to always be the most polite or suffer cruelty if we don't comply? It's a two-way street.
And my voice is fine. It's the presssure and anxiety of the situation. The nervousness makes it harder to speak loudly.
The point here is that removing the divider after having placed it simply for the person not thanking them is petty at best and cruel at worst, and it simply shouldn't happen.
People should be better, and should have some fucking grace and consider that maybe said person has a hard time speaking, or yet again worse, is mute.
I always put the divider down behind my stuff, line behind me or no, and expect nothing in return from the people behind me. If the person in front of me can't be arsed to put the divider down after their stuff, it's fun to see how many of my items get scanned before they get to have an awkward conversation with the cashier. Yes I'm normal and well adjusted, why do you ask?
Yes, that's why you have to practice. I got over mine by working in a hifi shop when I was 16. You have to speak to people, practice makes you better
I agree that we should all work on ourselves to the best of our ability, but I think the point I'm sticking on is the idea that this person deserves to be punished with revenge rudeness if they fail to perform politeness a specific way.
That's one of those things where the only way out is through.
Yes!
Or people could try not being so prissy and obsessed with victorian “values”.
"I did something great, you must now do it or you are less than me 👋"
Now let me condescend to you with advice that you don't want from a pretty obviously petty person that overcame one small flaw
Sounds great! Where do I sign up!
Yeeeeeah fuck off with that
And I'd tell you that, in person, both assertively and clearly
It's called shared experience you retard
Yeah you clearly don't have offline friends
New flaw found! Gotta practice not being an asshole
I overcame it when I was just a boy, you should practice more!
Edit: I just couldn't resist
I think you might be taking this personally and not really understanding what it's like.
It's you that is lacking compassion.
Couldn't resist what? Being a massive bell end? Are you autistic? No? stfu then
Boy howdy.
I have compassion for retards
How was your week?
