[geeks] observations and rants.

[William S.]

Geez, sorry to hear that "impoliteness" has hit Texas.
I have pretty fond memories of Austin and going out to
do shopping. On one occassion I had gone to the
HEB to pick up groceries. It was a hot day and got all
the way through the checkout. The "bag boy" packed
the groceries in the cart and followed me out to my
car (impressive). Then he uppacked the groceries into the
trunk of my car (more impressive) and as he was doing
so, noticed that my icecream was melted. Well, he then
told me he would be right back. He ran into the store with
the melted stuff and came back shortly to the car with
a frozen one (realllly impressive).

I don't think it gets better than that.  :)
