Would you have mentioned it if it had been a "very >|> friendly and attractive young man" who helped you? I might have if I had seen one...heck I might have even suggested to my girlfriends to go over the registry and check him out...I might have even told my homosexual buddies too if I thought they would be interested. Nothing like a PYT (pretty young thing) to brighten one's day. :-) >Yes, if I'd been helped by the nice guy at the next counter over instead. >(I knew I'd get in trouble for this statement.) I didn't take offense at that statement at all, and I don't see anything politcally uncorrect about this at all. It was just an observation, and not a detrimental one at all, IMHO. >Mostly I mentioned it because my experience contradicted that of >Barnicle et al. who always complain that Registry employees are rude, >unfriendly, gruff, and stupid. I haven't had too many problems with the registry either, most of the time I've gone it has been a fairly quick trip (in and out in 10 minutes). Kg@bbn.com
