 Jana that is so cool that a box boy would do that.  You are so lucky.  I have stores here in Huntington Beach where the service is great.  I go to those places often.  A friend of mine works for a certain large stand alone department store .  You would not believe what customers say to her.  One of the latest is out of the blue a customer told her she was too old to work in a store, she should retire.   The woman even came back later and said the same thing again.  My friend is 61 and a real go getter , She is the manager of her department and believe me the young people that work in her department shape up or they are gone.  She is a real hard worker.  She has been my friend and aid in my classroom also both paid and volunteer   She does have really grey hair. 

My favorite place here in town is a small cafe . The service and friendship there is amazing .  A young man now runs it for his father who still is around on and off.  We call it a Cheers with out booze.  The waiters and busboys and owners are so great They know your name and even your favorite orders.   A friendly place to go. 

Some places here I not only stare at the piercings but some people who wait on me have so many tatoos  there is no real skin left.  I said to some young friends a few years ago I am glad I won't be around when the skin on some of these people start to sag .   I run into the most tats and piercings at the local health food store . 

Funny and my generation was banned from Disneyland for wearing "funny clothes and having long hair and males having long hair and facial hair. 

I am sounding like an old fogey this morning .  I do think though there are lots of great kids  around like your box boyand my cafe owner .
