one reason of the "why" of my rage was expectations. a part of my favorite story:

Perhaps the best thing of all for me is to remember
that my serenity is inversely proportional to my expectations. The higher my expectations of other
people is, the lower is my serenity. I can watch my
serenity level rise when I discard my expectations.
But then my “rights” try to move in, and they too can
force my serenity level down. I have to discard my
“rights,” as well as my expectations, by asking myself,
How important is it, really? How important is it compared to my serenity, my emotional sobriety? And
when I place more value on my serenity and sobriety
than on anything else, I can maintain them at a higher
level—at least for the time being.


no need to step in and help him dig his own hole,BD

it might be a nice place to hang but i question the integrity of a shop that would allow an employee to act like that towards customers.


P.S.
if ya didnt drink it was a pretty dam good day.
