Grant, what you really want isn't patience -- it's perspective.
Tantrums are thrown by people who have a solar view of their place in the scheme of things. Fact is, real life ain't that way. The result of realizing that the world doesn't revolve around any one person, even when money changes hands, is perspective.
Keep doin' what you're doin', know that the overwhelming majority of your customers respect what you do, and remember the words of Samuel Clemens:
Never try to teach a pig to sing. It wastes your time and annoys the pig.
