January 2, 2017 --- I approached the self-checkout,and began bagging my merchandise. As I was leaving, instead of the customary "Have a nice day" that they render, since time immemorial, this snarky, low-rent employee abruptly turned her head and stepped away from her post, all to avoid saying anything to me. I thought nothing of it, until I looked back and saw her pointing to me and snickering with a co-worker. Don't know why. I was cleanly dressed, shaven, and well-groomed. I went back the next day JUST TO SEE IF IT WOULD HAPPEN again. This time, because she noticed that I caught her the day before, she was a bit more careful, and said what they're supposed to say --- 'Have a nice day." The very idea that people like this can hold jobs interfacing with the public speaks volumes of why St. Louis is one of the most violent cities in Mid America.
