Has the recession made you kinder?

Has the recession really taught you the value of a dollar?

Do you treat your fellow man somewhat better? Might you have been somewhat demanding of those in retail, waitpersons, etc, always quick to complain if you felt wronged, demand to see the manager, etc? Now do you realize that’s just some other poor slob trying to earn a living? Might your complaints get someone fired?
If you get lousy service or rude treatment, do you just suck it up and go on? You don’t know what struggles the other guy is going through, so he didn’t bring your refill of iced tea just when you wanted it, is it worth ruining a guy’s income for?
