It appears to me that in general, if the range personnel don't know you they do indeed tend to give you the cold shoulder. I have frequented PSC, Shiloh Shooting and whatever the one is called that is off of Gessner and I-10. They all give me the impression that they assume you are not worthy of notice until proven otherwise.
I imagine one could become jaded when you have to deal with potentially life-threatening morons and no real shortage of potential customers. You can afford to alienate a few...
Oh, in order to clarify. It mostly appears to be the folks at the counters that have this problem. Once you get on the firing line and the range/safety folks see that you appear to know your behind from a hole in the ground they tend to loosen up.
You could have been talking about the help, teenage and otherwise, in our one grocery store if I didn't know better.

Because they are...?
Its like I say, I love Texas, I could have moved to any other place in the US, I choose Texas, but I dislike Half the population of Texas. No based on race or politics or anything silly like that
One of my favorite bumper stickers of yesteryear was spotted in south Florida in the late 80's: "If you {heart NY} try 95 North".
