[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 218685"] Good news and bad news. Want to end on an up note, so I'll start with the bad news I've posted about this before and I'm still finding folks rude and I still don't "get" it. husband and I switched to a discount dry cleaner because of the economy. The woman they have working behind the counter literally does not speak to me! Even if there is no one behind me, she quickly grabs my clothes and check and never says a word. I can say "hello," "good afternoon" and she says nothing. If I FORCE interaction, she will quietly say "hello." They have a big sign that says "Turn off your cell phone when entering." I feel like they are the laundry Natzi's. Good news... I have noticed a few places lately...service has been BETTER! Friendlier, etc. I think they have FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY figured out that you are more likely to get repeated customers with better service. Like, duh? Of course, we are all cutting back and I suppose everyone has also figured out that if they don't get at least a few repeat customers, they might be in trouble. It is ashame that it took a recession to figure this simple thing out. In addition, in my humble opinion, life is just nicer when we are nicer to people. Well...at least some people are being nicer.... [B]p.s. For the foks who park in the handicap spots illegally, I DO like that bumper sticker idea![/B] [/QUOTE]
