<p>[QUOTE="BigTee44, post: 1674966, member: 41883"]So I went on my normal round of coin shops yesterday with not much being found at the normal places so I decided to head to an antique shop that sells coins from time to time. There's 3 different spots that have coins in this shop so I went to the first two finding nothing but junk silver marked up pretty high, so I moved to the last showcase which was right up front with the cash register. I asked if I could see some of the coins so the man working came and unlocked the showcase and pulled out one tray of coins, no sooner did he have it out on the counter, a older man comes up next to me and starts looking through the coins with me! He grabbed the nicest looking Walkers before I even had time to scan the entire tray. My wife was with me and I guess he was watching which coins I was looking at, I was so very annoyed with this man I walked away from the coins and came back only when he had cherry picked the coins. I didn't leave empty handed, but it still left a bitter taste in my mouth. I thought it was only young people with no respect for others, I guess it has transferred to the older generations now as well. </p><p><br /></p><p>What would you have done in this situation?</p><p><br /></p><p> I find it very hard to be mean to older people but this made me think about it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>

I find it very hard to be mean to older people but this made me think about it.[/QUOTE]
