I don’t think the older folks are being nice because they are afraid of you, but possibly because you ARE helping them. If you are used to being ignored or followed around, and someone genuinely wants to help, you do appreciate it. Think about it: if you’re getting older, maybe your eyesight isn’t what it used to be, or maybe you can’t lift as much, etc., so when someone offers help, you take it. As for the younger people, there are many instances in which store employess have unfairly profiled black shoppers as if they may steal something. And they don’t have to be young or poor. It happened to Oprah in New York City. If I go into a store and leave without buying something, sometimes I feel like they may think I am stealing.
