It is all about RESPECT

I love North Carolina. One of the big differences between North Carolina and New York is how the people treat each other. The first day in our new house, we had neighbors coming over to say hello and welcome us to the neighborhood. As I took the dogs for a walk people driving by would wave that I had never seen before. In New York, the only thing that a complete stranger would wave at you is the middle finger! The businesses here also treat you very differently. We bought a mattress from a store in town and the owner brought it by the next night on his own and since we did not have a bed frame yet, he brought us a metal frame to use until ours came in. The car dealerships have an are set up for kids with games and a TV so that the adults can look at the cars and talk with the salesperson without being interrupted. My bank actually called today to see how everything was and if I had any problems or questions about my account. Now that is service! It is so nice to have people treat you with respect instead of just a piece of meat with a wallet. It really is all about respect. When you respect others, you treat them differently than you would if you did not respect them at all.
