I have had the exact same experience when shopping. I am amused and shocked then, when people in the Jewish community turn up their noses and act disgusted when they have to deal with ‘the goyishe velt’. By the way, I have been in many of the boys’ Jewish day schools and in many Baltimore City Public Schools. Guess which kids consistently hold the door open for me (as opposed to slamming it in my face)?

Such a wonderful point - so beautifully expressed, B’H!

I make it a point to greet checkout line cashiers and other store employees as warmly as I can, and to always say thank you, especially at 7 Mile Market, where Lord knows the opportunity for non Jewish employees to feel ill will toward Jews is high. Maybe it’s just my Southern upbringing.
