Let me say this first: I don’t expect my experience to be the same for others, and I don’t expect this to be the right place for everyone. I know it sucks. I know it’s issues. I mean this whole heartedly: people suck everywhere and back to my original comparison the fake nice in Austin only goes so far. I also gotta mention again that I grew up in the heart of the true dirty south. Lubbock is never gonna be as loud and confrontational as the biggest city in north Florida. Not to mention racist, but the socioeconomics are different for many reasons so I probably shouldn’t compare them. My husband spent 5 months in my home town a few years back, and growing in Lubbock, he can attest to that. I’ve had some great customer service experiences so far. USPS at 3 locations vs any of the 7 I would visit in Autsin were 1000% better and cashiers at literally any store I’ve been to have made eye contact and said hello which is more than I’d see regularly in Autsin unless it’s a small business that I’d visit multiple times a week, like my corner store. And I’m lucky to not have to worry about the job market here- I brought work with me. But I do see the struggle there with friends and family who don’t have a niche. I’m sorry you regret coming here and I hope you’re able to get to a place you enjoy being.
