I flip flopped between two gas stations through college.
One was in a “rougher” area. One was in some nicer suburbs.
I always found it ironic, but the people in the suburbs used to drive me absolutely insane.
Forgot my wallet, complaining, arguing about what road they were on after they asked me, driving over product on the sidewalk, etc.
The other location people generally got in, paid and said have a nice day, and got out.
- dfxm12 2y agoAccording to the article: A "frictionless economy" was emerging with promises to make our lives easier in part by removing the biggest friction in our lives: other people. I know what you mean, but I'm not sure I see the irony. "Rough area" and suburbs don't have exact meanings, but in my experience, for what I think is being described as rough areas, interacting with other people, including new people, is seen as good, important, even necessary, and not as "friction". In nicer suburbs, interactions with new people may be rarer & more transactional. How you treat someone you don't regularly interact with is an extension of this.
