I’ve in in California, Colorado, Maryland, Virginia and then moved to Alabama.
I thought it was the end of the world - my life was over.
Within 10 minutes I was absolutely taken by the friendly people, the nice villages and small shops - and the Piggly Wiggly !
20 years later . . . I still love Alabama !

Years ago I stopped one night to help an old man/woman broken down on a bad stretch of interstate that was under construction.
After getting them taken care of the old man pulled out his wallet and tried to pay me.
I declined and told him my parents were approaching his age and I hoped that if they ever found themselves in the same situation someone would do the same for them.

Your post reminded me of the time my family was exiled to NJ from Texas for a couple of years.
On the first day of school my sister said “Yes Mam” to the teacher who indignantly replied “I’m not your Mam!”

“The gist of it, I dont care to deal with East Coast people especailly with their entitlement mentality and having to constantly have to be very careful in how I dealt with them since almost anything can set them off and they demand to talk to your manager.”
I work for an investment firm with its HQ in the Midwest. A number of our branch offices are in the Northeast. Many Northasterners are just l,ike you described. They like to push their way around but when you push back, they become defensive and nasty.

Most of California was like that before we were inundated by New York and east coast college students during the Viet Nam War. They got their deferments, hung on in our low-tuition state colleges, and stayed after graduation. The California culture has suffered ever since.
My hometown, San Diego was wonderful in the 50's and early 60's, just like you said. Just a small military town, and I knew every street.
The democrats ended the Bracero Program in '63-'64 and that started the onslaught of illegal aliens., followed by the Viet Nam War.
Now San Diego is a mega-tropolis of illegals, homosexuals, liberals from all over and I'm grateful every day I live in the deep South.

In Texas, however, if you know the number, give the number, they dont neded to SEE the frickin number. So if I go to a rental car agency in Dallas, and I know my DL#, I just say the number and there is no need to produce a DL?
LOL!

I deal with vendors all over the country and despise having to deal with the ones from NJ so much that I delegate those to someone else.

Ya have to watch yourself in CA. Most people here don't trust anyone, and if ya look at someone wrong, you can end up dead rather quickly.
I fit right in, because I never trusted anyone to begin with.

No, that is Steve Sutherland’s district.
I am around 40-50 miles West of Two Egg, close to the Walton/Holmes County line. Also not too far from Alabama.

It’s loss or a shortage. When something in a store, goes bad...and has to be thrown out. e.g. bananas, all black and funky....might get reduced [shrinkage] or thrown out...or given to a pig farmer.
An opened pack, like the batteries, could possibly be returned to the vendor for a credit...or deducted from a new invoice. FWIW, this manager was stealing from the owner of the store. But obviously, the good will he created was worth it. Unless the *manager* paid for the batts out of his own pocket, or owned them, his was employee theft.
