At this point in our lives, sadly most of us have had our own crisis or family crisis with which to deal at one time or another.
That “bored, tired”, (in your opinion), person may have been dealing with an even larger crisis than yours. Extra kindness from your side of the register may have made a difference for her and you may be surprised what it can do for you. Unless someone is being intentional cruel, I try to give them the benefit of the doubt. We can’t change everyone in the world.
