Dear Roanoke Rapids,
When you want something, you say "please."
When your server gives you your food, you say "thank you."
When she says "have a good evening," you say "thanks," or "you too."
This is called basic courtesy. Please practice it.
No love, Megan
Actually, LC wasn't really that bad tonight. A small, mildy annoying rush at the end, but over all a good night. Which is probably why I was annoyed by the lack of manners - well, moreso than usual. Meh.

Sometimes my thoughts are so inward that I forget a basic courtesy, fail to defend myself, or something like that, but not too often. I hope.

I recognize that, usually I'm nicer to them just because I know what it's like to get off work utterly exhausted, etc etc. It's the ones that have clearly never worked a day in their life, the ones that have just cashed their welfare checks (yet wear like three gold necklaces and so many rings I can't see their fingers) that bitch and moan about too much cheese on their pizza, and can't be bothered to so much as nod a thanks that annoy me.

Date: 2004-03-03 02:24 am (UTC)Maybe the people in your town aren't able to wrap their minds around the concept of manners? I mean obviously they think you're beneath them, which would put you somewhere under bedrock in terms of using an earth's crust analogy. That really irks me too when people are rude like that and don't use any manners--I mean, it's just COMMON COURTESY... blah.
Tell them all to just fuck off and be done with it. I'll call up and you put me on speaker phone and I will command them to say "Thank you" and "please"... where do people grow up now??? IN HOLES???
