The Handbag is FULL

I don't know what to think about the news stories I read every day about retail employees refusing to wait on uniformed police officers.  The one that grabbed my attention today happened at a Walmart store in St. Cloud Florida, where a uniformed police officer was refused service because of "skin color" according to both the local TV news AND Walmart.  Walmart refuses to comment, as they refer to this as a "personnel issue".  Walmart admits that not one, but TWO employees refused to wait on the officer and indicated the reason why they would not wait on him was the officer's skin color.



I'm sorry.  Actually, I'm NOT sorry,  I'm sick of this.  When Walmart gets ripped off they have no qualms with calling their local police and expecting professional service.  Sorry, but that whole "service" thing goes both ways.  Service and professionalism are both two-way streets.  Same for the fast-food places that are refusing service or tampering with officer's orders.

It's not a personnel issue as Walmart contends, it's a total breakdown of respect in the United States by an entire generation of snot-noses who have no work ethic, no common sense, no pride and VERY limited intelligence.  It's a generation being raised by a previous generation that has had everything handed to them, and has finally seized the idea that not only do they not have to work for a living, but they also now want to control the incomes of those who DO work.

You can't blame this phenomenon on Black Lives Matter, or even that walking turd Obama, but you can certainly blame it on a lack of home training.  If your child proves himself to be a classless, base, ignorant and rude individual, it is a reflection on their home life and the parents.  Yeah.  It's YOUR fault if you've allowed your kid to become a self-centered criminal with no home training.  It's ALL YOU.

LBJ told the world that they'd keep the plantation open and running for fifty years, and he was correct.  It's much easier to pretend to be a victim that requires special treatment, support and safe spaces than it is to be an adult that understands responsibilities and takes care of his own family.  Leather bootstraps, which one used to pull himself up by have been replaced with plastic Crocs and initiative has been kidnapped and held ransom by the social media hive mind.  Common sense is a trait you only read about today, especially in the media and in politics.  

Everyone that my generation was taught to give the highest respect, like our military heroes, our law enforcement officers and rescue personnel have been relegated to the back pages by a generation that demands a higher minimum wage to flip burgers than our emergency medical responders earn today.  Who decided that "protesting" was the way to get more free stuff?  What happened to that initiative that used to burn like a wildfire across America?

You all know the answers to those questions.  And I'm gonna tell ya, this country has gone to hell in a handbag...
