nzoner 936 Posted February 16, 2018 But tonight I'm in the cigarette line at Sam's Club(I know bad habit etc. etc.) and the guy checking out in front of me is a Middle Eastern guy with a cart full of smokes for his discount smoke shop.He's not the issue but just to set the scene,so while I'm patiently waiting another ME guy shows up and is leaning on the cashiers counter with his huge list of smoke products he needs and the cashier is like wtf?Anyhow I make eye contact with the guy and he moves to the side and meets up with yet another ME guy and they start visiting in their native tongue, Five minutes passes and the guy in front of me finishes up and as he begins to leave with his cart this other guy steps in front of me to hand the cashier his list and I've focking had it and say in a stern tone,"excuse me but I'm next in line,I 've been waiting." This guy looks at me cracks a grin says something in his language to me and stands there while i get my measely carton of smokes and then as I'm leaving steps in front of me yet again and this time I make body contact with him as I once again say,"EXCUSE ME!" brush by and don't look back as he's muttering something. Sorry not a great story no fight etc. but what in the fock is it with common manners with these people as this was the second time in a month I've had a similar situation like this take place at Sam's Club smoke department.

KSB2424 3,083 Posted February 16, 2018 Ive been to India, not Middle East, but still. My very first day there I found out that they dont queue up in a line like the West. It was literally a huddle and whoever made eye contact with the cashier got service. Think of a really crowded bar and everone jockeying for position to get a beer. Like that. Point being maybe it was a custom issue. They might be fresh off the boat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This/ And ME are easily provoked and get scared. Bunch of Possays's. Don't fawk with the Vietnamese. They'll cut or shoot you faster than you can say Alpo. Handled a claim recently where some black guys robbed a Vietnamese quickly store. Stole a bunch of cigs and alcohol in the middle of the night. I had to go behind the counter to get a few pics and get the the cam footage. Mama San had a 12 gauge sawed off, 9mn Beretta, and a 45 right under the register. They had AK's in the kitchen and beer cooler. Had a safe with a crucifix on it. Very impressed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peenie 1,690 Posted February 16, 2018 Glad you spoke up. People are annoying. You what's the worst? Southerners! They're too damned polite! They don't complain when lines aren't moving fast enough. In NJ, in the hood, they'll immediately check you if you're taking too long or if someone tries to cut in line. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I always understood the steriotype but holy hell are they slow. From the people working to the people buying. Anytime I have been to the south, I am always thinking this would not fly up north.

fandandy 3,311 Posted February 16, 2018 I've heard stories from from the employees at the Sams Club by me. They seem to feel better than and that they should be first in line, always. It's their culture and prolly why the Jews get under their skin so bad by saying that God chose them to be first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Southern manners are a great thing.I meant only in reference to this subject. I forget that it's hard to understand when you're simply reading. Let me rephrase: I'm so glad he spoke up and complained because here in the south I've witnessed southerners not complain when people cut in line getting in front of them or when a cashier is taking too long because they're not doing their job. They don't honk their horns when someone is not moving on a green light. Heck, I've sat and the light went from green back to red and no one honked! Never in NJ. Often their politeness prevents then from confronting people when they should speak up and not get taken advantage of. I was hoping you could infer that I didn't mean saying please or thank you was an annoying habit. Geesh. On the flip side I've learned to tone it waaaay down. Now I just let people be and I'm not rude anymore, lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are many good, polite ones here too. But there are a lot of focking annoying barbarians too. Mostly, growing up in an overcrowded place like this changes the manners. In America, you can afford to be polite and let the lady board the train first. In china, you dont scramble your way in, you dont get In. I am in a guesthouse in Laos right now. The whole place is full of Chinese. Chinese tourists are the suck. They travel in clans of 10+. They are loud as Fock. They just dont have a concept of inside voices. Dont know why. I think it has to do with the tonal language. Its harder to enunciate the tones softly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My sons asked me again to tell them the story of my first trip to NYC at dinner tonight. When I finished, they laughed as always and asked why those people were so mean. I told them it was because there were 11M people in the city, all trying to get thru the day without hassle. But, literally everything you do in a crowded city is a huge hassle, and it wears on you. I cant imagine what it must be like in the Far East. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
