I worked at a homeless shelter for years and we had a policy that we couldn't acknowledge clients outside of work unless they spoke to us first since there can be boundary issues...wouldn't have phrased that explanation the way she did though

While it may seem simple, I also feel like there’s something to be said for being “always on the job.” Perhaps, rules permitting, a simple hello would be good, but I can also understand how someone in an emotionally strenuous line of work might have to compartmentalize.

I tend to say hello to a couple of regulars on my route, but most people don’t because it is stressful and acknowledging inequality is hard and painful and upsetting. Emotional labor is real and people who are responding indignantly seem to not acknowledge that.

God bless you. English teachers all over the country are so proud of you for knowing the importance of using the correct words. Our president can’t even do that!

I used to work in Early Intervention- if I saw a family out I always respected their privacy. If they saw me and said hello, I always talked to them. A letter is a great idea- I hope she is receptive to you.
