Reply #176: Money is money. Period. The lack of common decency however... [View All]

[Guilded Lilly]

is appalling. The acceptable level of meaness in this country has reached a hideous level. Going the extra step or even having a heart, by God, has seemingly become way too much of an *imposition*.

This wasn't an *inconvenience* for the customer. This was a humilitating slap in the face for someone who was down. It would behoove EVERY DAMNED store owner to worry more about being a human being with a kind heart, and teaching every single employee the art of compassion...than to make demands on what form the money they make is in.

We get nothing but ugliness from the top levels down, with no accountability whatsoever. It is now time to MAKE people and businesses accountable for inappropriate behavior.

We must all use the power of the written word, the pen, the blogs and even the damned media to recapture heart in this country. Perhaps then we can hope that a bit of the national soul is repaired.
