I agree that these types have most likely been this way their whole life. However, I disagree that most people here have great attitudes. After I left Walgreens, I went to Publix with this interaction still on my mind. I made a deliberate attempt to watch and listen to folks as they shopped. I also made a point to smile at everyone. Very few people smile or even say excuse me. Sorry, but I really do disagree that folks here are happy. I see unhappy faces. I'll keep looking for the happy people though. 😊
