To Gerald...yes cars are to get us from one place to another BUT that doesn't excuse bumping them then leaving. If it didn't happen in a parking lot that would constitute leaving a scene of an accident and would constitute a fine/ticket from the police. It doesn't matter how hard of a day or life the person is having that did this. Just is wrong!!! I would have to ask you, Gerald, what planet do you live on?? How would you feel if it happened to you???

As for rude folks in retail (and in LIFE)...yes it happens. I used to work retail and found that "if" you 'kill them with kindness' it works best. Sometimes it will make them stop and see that they look like jerks...if not then you're the one who took the higher road. The jerks will stand out to look to others for what they are. Remember back in school the "Golden Rule"? Do onto others as you wish them to do onto you! I also like another analogy---what goes around, comes around....and this one can work both ways. Don't get discouraged...there are LOTS of good people out there as well.
