I was recently struck again with the same thought when, toward the end of a 12-day Caribbean cruise, we docked in Key West and then had to endure the barked orders of the locally hired security employees when reboarding.
They weren't that obnoxious (I've endured worse) but the contrast was striking.
It's the assertiveness that blurs into aggressiveness that's so unnecessary and so annoying.
