For years I have heard others say that people in Los Angeles are rude. I don’t personally think so. I feel like you get back what you put out there. And if I see a black cloud over the person about to help me, I quickly step aside and wait for the next one. Problem solved.
Now that I am in a kinder and gentler state (of mind and state of Oregon) I do find the people to be more friendly. When dealing with a store clerk you get friendly but you also get kind, helpful and just a little bit more. Today I had to return something to the local bike shop. I am 99% sure it will go well….but there is always that nagging feeling that you waited too long to return the item, that was a seasonal sale, corduroy is no longer in fashion or the clerk just says “no”. I thought that was a drug related answer! So when they give you an immediate return AND they are happy to see you and help you, I guess that is a bit of a shock.
So, I still don’t think people in Los Angeles are rude as a rule…..but I do think the people in Oregon (at least those we have met so far) are above and beyond kind!
But each one of them really does own at least one dog! (Is anyone seeing a theme from me on the dog issue????)
