His girl friend was taking up a bar seat with her lap top, phone and book open and did not order anything while we were there.
The two of them continued to complain about the guests saying they attend the car show looking at the same cars every month "but they all have dementia so they (Villagers) think the cars are different".
We found the remark rather insensitive.

I have heard that Asians respect their "elders". And maybe in some counties in Europe young people respect the retired age group. But, that does NOT exist in the modern US. There was SOME dwindling respect for the elderly when I was a child. I lived in a northern city, so maybe there was some mutual respect shown in the small rural towns of the south or midwest - that I was not aware of. I would be curious if someone has an opinion as to WHY the lack of respect? Perhaps someone with psychology training on that subject? Thanks.
