IMO this would be why your son corrected you, the idea that the clerk wasn't doing their job. I'm assuming that since you had to open the door that this is one of those self serve kiosks, so the burden is on the customer, not on the deli employee to assist you with a self serve item.
And yes, my kids have on occasion brought me up to speed (corrected me) on new ways of thinking, even though I don't always understand the logic, or lack thereof, behind the new ideas.I actually appreciate when my kids do this, they aren't disrespectful, or at least I don't see it that way, and I'd rather be kept current than otherwise. I don't want to stagnate as I get older. Things change, I want to change too.
I don't think my kids are necessarily smarter, but they are without a doubt more current.
Thanks for your input. Yes, it is self serve. It would have been helpful for them to move the items toward the front of the warmer so people could see them and get them out with less trouble. Even though I have fibromyalgia, I am pretty agile for my age. Someone not quite as agile, would have had trouble getting it. I had to squat and reach through about 2 feet to get to it. I wasn't even complaining about that. It was her attitude about helping me find something that would keep the container from burning my hands. He co-worker right away grabbed something and was happy to help.
My take is that your son probable didn't mean to disrespect you. He's not very tactful that is usually learned by years of experiences. You may have to tell him (more than one time) that it's hurt your feelings by siding with the outsiders when they're in the wrong. You may want to point out what you expect from your services, and why you're disappointed. It's a change to teach your son life experiences as well. I used to tell my kid that be considerate to your family and the ones who cares about you, because if you don't, they'll stay away from you, and you'll be surrounded with strangers and people who didn't care about you.

See, you had someone jump in and be happy to help you! Is there a reason you can't focus on that instead of the rude person? Serious question.

Thank you for your kind response. I have visited with my son about it and let him know why his comments hurt me. He was not at his best at that time. Too little sleep and possibly a hangover.
A client sent me a check for payment and they mailed it to the wrong address. It took more than 3 weeks to get a replacement and I needed the money for bills in the meantime.
A lab messed up my bloodwork and rendered the tests useless so I had to take time off from work another day, fast, and redo the blood draw.
That sort of stuff.
I complained to the people involved. (the company accounting dept, the lab, etc.)
