I’ve always been under the illusion that if you want good customer service, the best way to get that is to be a good customer. The start of being a good customer is saying please and thank you. Is it just me or has the great recession started a streak of impoliteness? If you’re in the service industry, you hear me loud and clear. I’m not talking about children and young adults either. I’m talking about the adults. From now on, when an adult demands something from me like a three year old child – I’m going to say, “What’s the magic words?”Good manners are part of the code of conduct for living in our world and as adults, we should not forget it.
