Cheese, change, phone calls, & respect

Since when does a pound of cheese cost $6.00? …seriously; I’m asking. I know it’s New York and people have to feed their kids and everything, but $6.00??
I think that guy who runs the store across 69th St. thinks that he’s clever when he doesn’t give me my change. Both times I’ve gone in there I’ve been in a hurry and haven’t said anything, but both times he’s gypped me of my change. Granted, it was only 5¢ the first time and 1¢ the second, but it’s the principle of the thing! I don’t think I’m going to buy food/stuff from that place anymore.
Plus… when I asked for help, he just pointed in the general direction of the back of the store and didn’t even pause talking to whomever it was he was talking to on the phone. How rude. I’m a paying customer, right? The least you could do is put the phone down for five minutes to show me where to find what it is I’m looking for. It’s not like it’s a big store or your mother died or something.
Is it old-fashioned for me to think that customers deserve a little respect?
This fucking guy is never off the phone. His phone calls are more important than selling what ever he sells. I really think is a culture mix thing. Everybody in the store are rude and careless. What can I say? Welcome to NY
