I guess I'm making a comment about equality and equity, and I know I'm WAY off topic... I'll illustrate this with two appropriate smilies...

BTW, I mean no disrespect to either customers of the shop owners nor the shop owners, I'm sure it's a very trying job and tough times...



Yeah we are way off topic, but this topic is a dead rotten horse that really needs no more kicking...so I will continue on your vector.

It may seem like a vendor treats his/her customers badly...perhaps they do, but do the customers also treat the vendor badly? Is it simply a product of the culture? I have seen dealings that looked like precursors to a fist fight...and locals tell me that it is the normal way of things. Yelling and screaming can be a sign of true human emotion...or simply ploys and tactics hoping to elicit fear or sympathy (that will not come...for that boy has cried wolf far too many times)
