That would NEVER happen on the mainland.
The mainland is a big, big place.
On a recent visit with my children we all traveled through Chicago to our final destination. I arrived from Hawaii, they started out in New York & Boston. In conversation I mentioned the fast pace and gruff attitude of some folks I encountered at O'Hare, and both my kids looked at me with surprise and said, "what do you mean? compared to the east coast the people in Chicago are sooo nice!"
A few hours later when we arrived in the hinterlands it was all so Prairie Home Companion. Many people were exceptionally friendly, polite, and helpful. There were some insane drivers as well.
