But speaking of change, I found myself saying "Yes, ma'am" to the very nice polite older lady at the See's Candies store as I picked up treats to bring home. It was a good feeling to let down my guard against rude people in CA and practice the respect and politeness in CA that we've experienced when doing business in NC.

I wouldn't let your guard down too much, you might be surprised at what is behind those "yes ma'am, no ma'am" platitudes. Refer back to #1 of architect77's excellent post..
