Where Are Your Manners?

This may be my Southern roots coming out,

but where have people's manners gone?

I mean did your mother not teach you the power

and courtesy of Please and Thank You?

Props to my mother for instilling in me the basics of good manners.

I would like to think I go above and beyond when it comes to interacting with people

and being pleasant and grateful.

I can totally understand if you are having the worst day of your life

and you just cannot squeak out a please or thank you,

or even have a smirk of a smile on your face,

but the majority of people have no excuse for being plain rude.

From my first job at Baskin Robbins to now at Gigi's,

I have been dealing with people for almost four years

and I can honestly say that a smile and a please and/or thank you

goes a long way!

Granted there are plenty times when I have not done my job to the best of my abilities,

not on purpose obviously,

but I try to hold my composure and treat people with respect!

As the saying goes...

Were you raised in a barn?

A smile is a little gesture that can go a long way!

Enjoy this BEAUTIFUL day!
