Cue courtesy/customer service thread.

Sales people who say "No problem" or "have a good one" in place of please or thank you. They are not synonymous.

I should hope doing your job is not a problem. I would hate to think the service I am paying for is a problem!

And have a good what? It does give me a few seconds of wondering...good day...good life...good roll in the....? But it certainly doesn't tell me the merchant appreciates my business!

It could be worse you know they could say something else and be rude at least they were in some way polite and not bitchy.........

LOL yes there are lots of worse things they could say.... Or they could say nothing at all, which kind of annoys me.

I always tell everyone to have a good day and it drives me nuts when I get a blank stare in return lol.

I really dislike the loud music in stores and restaurants. Some of it is so loud, I get a headache. One of the religion-based thrift stores is very guilty of this. I often walk out before I'm finished shopping. And I avoid eating places that have loud music. Ryan's restaurant plays the oldies (50's & 60's) at a decent volume so I don't mind going there.

Common courtesy isn't common anymore. We have all become self-absorbed. We want it all and RIGHT NOW! Hang up the cell phone and place your order, pay the clerk, or discuss a problem. Getting nasty solves nothing!

If you are working with the public, concentrate on your job and be as polite as you can; no cell phones, conversations, reading, or ignoring customers. If that's too hard, you shouldn't be there.

I like to try to put myself in the other person's shoes. Even if I get stepped on occasionally.
