We should be happy with what we have and not want more things. It's just more stuff to dust...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15931447245506642458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310503178877094719.post-27166283640915684732008-01-04T20:20:00.000-05:002008-01-04T20:20:00.000-05:00I think society as a whole is getting more... well...I think society as a whole is getting more... well, rude. With the internet, 50 million tv channels, cell phones, etc, we are used to getting information when we want it. And I think all the technology makes people less personable, especially with the generation after ours who grew up completely in the internet age (which is probably who is working at these restaurants now). Not only that, but society is way more materialistic than we were before. My mom grew up in a teeny 2 bedroom house (her bed was in the attic), and there were 6 people who lived there, and they were happy. Now you see McMansions everywhere, super sweet 16 birthday parties, and we are constantly bombarded with shows like "cribs" or the "fabulous life of..." Our greediness applies to jobs too... remember when 401K and health benefits was a perk? Now, people expect daycares, fitness centers, and flex time... as a basic benefit.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, between the material aspect and just less personal relationships due to technology(I say this as I'm typing to you now), I think its everywhere, not just in restaurants.<BR/><BR/>So here's to a new years resolution - be kinder people! Thats what we all want anyway - to have friends and be happy!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
