I think it could be related to the labour crunch. We have a lot more immigrant workers here than a lot of people are used to.

I remember being in Tim Horton's a few days ago when an East Indian lady was serving a guy in front of me and she didnt know a damn word of English. The guy was pointing at what he wanted from the menu.

I can imagine if you replace that guy with someone who is either in a hurry or had a bad day or just running low on patience that situation doesnt end as pleasantly.

I've noticed it in a lot of my dealings lately. Not a lot of patience in this city lately.
