Recently, I have experienced too much politeness which has made me a bit scared. The reason why I say “too much” is that I am never used to being greeted at the door of a store and led to the right area to find what I need.

As in more familiar times, one would walk into a department store without being noticed, go up to a shop assistant, and find him or her chatting on a phone. You would wait for a minute or so to ask a question to the person, usually a woman. And she, finally deciding to notice you, would turn around to you and say “Yes?” impatiently and you would ask if her department has a very well-known brand and she would point and say “If we do, they’re supposed to be over there.” and turn back to her phone.

That type of behavior still exists in many stores. But I have noticed another type of assistant from now on. Here is an example about a “scary” bank clerk.

One day, I was on the phone to an incredibly polite bank clerk who could not help me with an online request. He was so upset that he couldn’t do so that I felt him nearly break down. With sadness in his voice, he said I had to go to a nearby bank in person to do my business because they needed me to give them my Social Security number face to face. I said, “not a chance” and hung up, but then I began to worry if I had made him kill himself. I think his name was Gary.

Gray, if you’re out there, think of your mom and you little sisters and don’t do anything crazy. It’s just that I’m not used to politeness from a banker, and I forgive your being politeness.
