Do you have gas? or Did you have gas today?

For a while, I started answering this question with, "No, just a little indigestion."

I stopped when I got only blank stares in response.

Come on guys, cut these people some slack. As previously mentioned they are largely products of an educational system which instills little discipline or education. They do learn to be P.C. and good little socialists however.
Those young people behind the counter or waiting your table are probably encountering free enterprise for the first time, are trying to better themselves by work rather than welfare, and will likely learn more than their public education provided(if they last).
Be polite and recognized and reward exceptional service.
