[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 81043"] Manners works in both directions. We can't accuse others of poor manners if we exhibit poor manners ourselves. I hate shopping at the mall or grocery store during business hours. I quickly learn the times they are least busy and that's when I do the shopping...people blocking your view in the aisles and my personal pet peeve: when you're walking and people come right at you and expect you to move out of their way while you have bags on your arms and a kid on or at your hip (I HATE the mall). I feel like I have to be a bulldozer to get through it. As far as companies and their poor manners, I don't believe it's the staff that is to blame. Companies don't value customers the way they used to. That old adage, "The customer is always right" is no longer applied in many places. For example, how companies try to lure new customers with great deals, but don't offer those same deals to existing customers? They are more interested in acquiring customers than keeping them. Think cell phone companies, cable, etc. It's become a revolving door. Marg, the people at your McDonald's tell you to "have a nice day"?!!
