It isn't fair and you don't deserve to be mistreated, but don't make yourself feel worse by overreacting. Sometimes saying a kind word to the store employee is all it takes for their mood to turn around and for them to feel valued.

Rudeness can also be exhibited by someone's actions and not so much by what they say. Many people simply have bad manners and do not know how to act in a public setting. Depending on the person and situation, you can try to correct them tactfully, letting them know their actions are not conducive to a civilized manner.

It is a mature person who thinks before they act or react, toward someone else's demeanor. Unfortunately, too many people do not take into consideration, how their actions or comments can affect another person.

Being polite to others will always be held in higher regard than those who would chose otherwise.
