That is an ideology that I just don't agree with. It's systems like this that let rude people get their way. It encourages impolite people to continue to be impolite.
Walmart has a set of "in" doors and "out" doors to enter and exit their building. I was walking leaving Walmart today when I realized that you can walk out the "in" doors and in the "out" doors and you will still trigger a sensor which will open the door. I've been shopping at that Walmart for about three years now, and today was the first time I realized that I have been breaking a rule almost every time I shop there. Everyone does.
I work for Borders, and regardless of what company policy says, I make sure to let the customer know when he or she is acting ridiculous. I love doing it. I get paid minimum wage, I don't write the rules of the company. I don't deserve to be degraded, no one does. I give people the attitude they transmit to me.
A guy comes in a few weeks ago. Throws a professional wrestling magazine on the counter. I ask him if he found everything alright. No response. I continued the transaction saying absolutely nothing. I threw his change on the counter. He walked away and said, "you're welcome." I said nothing. It felt great.
It is important to note that, while backing out of my parking space at Walmart I was almost hit by a car driving in the opposite direction in a one-way parking lot. But the customer is always right. They can exit through an entrance and enter through an exit.
