“Live Free or Die....as long as you live the way we want you to.”
Could you possibly expand what you mean by that?
I found the people of New Hampshire to be rigid and unable to see a different point of view. They had their way of doing stuff—read everything—and if you tried to introduce a different way of doing anything there was significant resistance.
I ran a customer service department and they were so unable to understand why the customers might expect us to bend a rule, or make an exception, that eventually we closed down the center and moved it elsewhere in New England.
They are not stupid. They are not nasty. I just found them to be rigid in their ways. While that might be charming from afar, it was maddening when you were losing customers.
