Regarding your comment about rudeness at the beginning, the gas station attendant exhibits exemplary behavior. Not only did he serve his customer, he did it politely. Compare with today's reprehensible behavior of service givers, making excuses, refusing to give their names, never apologizing and poorly concealing being annoyed themselves.
Yea, but rude is rude. And as a person who has and does work in customer service. Some customers feel way too entitled and don't respect the fact that they are talking to a person. A person that more than likely have no idea of what you are upset about. And unfortunately the customer service rep, has to take the brunt end of what ever the company does, that the customer service rep has no control over. And customer service reps, are told not to give their names out in case there is a crazy customer. The calls are more than likely will be recorded. Their boss will speak with them if they feel they did not handle the call or the customer appropriately. People to day don't want to deal with rude behavior no matter if you are the customer. Because you are still taking to people, and no one enjoys being disrespected. Not the customer or the customer service rep. Food for thought.
@@jessicamariepresents6490 The customer service representative represents the company to the customer. There's no such thing as "no control over". It's the responsibility of the representative to get systemic issues addressed. A shoulder shrug isn't good enough.
@@alanfeldstein9761 Well you would want to take those opinions up with the companies that make the rules, not the employees that have to enforce them. We are told not to give our names to customer especially on the phone. If the company goes under that comes from the top not the bottom.
@@jessicamariepresents6490 You're not saying anything I haven't heard before. You're passing the buck to the customer. You're a defender of the status quo. All the good ideas in this conversation are coming from me.
Well said and agreed... And I'd tell myself to run as far as I can... I mean my foster family at the time wasn't bad, it was good (until it wasn't) but still... but well said. There's ways to make happiness in any time period and age and stuff...for most people at least... I get why anyone would be sick of that busy city stuff but I think he just needed a more innocent simple life or at least a break, so he could change that... and exactly, kids, and just anyone, forget and make mistakes and stuff... and exactly, mistakes are needed unfortunately... but agreed with both of you.
I got $3.10 for 35 cents with the inflation adjustment. That's for the year 1960. A dime purchase in 1935 has the value today of $1.94. Our fiat currency is kaput. Stock up on gold and silver. They say that silver is the poor man's gold. And copper is the poorer man's silver.
It was not one of the better TZs. By the way, Gig young (1913-1978) was in one Elvis movie --"Kid Galahad." Gig was married at the time to Elizabeth Montgomery (1933-1995). Remember "Bewitched"? He treated Elizabeth very badly. Elvis confronted him about it and they almost came to blows. Later, Gig killed himself and his fifth wife.
Watching this episode makes you think... The best one ever made

No name given, no business.
No business, company goes under.

The little boy was Ron Howard, Opie on Andy Griffith.
It is said that this was Serling's favorite episode but the pressures of TV deadlines made this fall a bit short of Serling's complete vision.

.35 cents adjusted for inflation would be $3.18 in today's money.
That's so crazy, thanks for the information. 😀

Bitter sweet.
