Over the weekend we went to eat at a fancy restaurant to help family celebrate. Although more money than we preferred to spend, we had the money and it wasn't an issue.
What bothered me was the lack of manners displayed by a couple other guests. One person demanded refills and extra bread from the server, no please, no thank you, and did not even acknowledge the server. The server was attentive so there was no reason for this.Another was just like this...and between not talking to people around them, but too busy checking their phones and chewing with open mouths, I was appalled by this behavior. I know these people were raised better than this.
I didn't think it was my place to point out the lack of manners, but I will say it did spoil a good meal sitting across from these people.
What manners?

Nearly every company in every industry spouts off about how they "care" about their customer service, but in truth, it's sorely lacking. I do see some singular standouts, which I can only chalk up to special training of staff. Like my local Caraluzzi's, where the cashiers are inordinately helpful and pleasant. It's a family-owned chain of just 3 small supermarkets. With so much competition in the area, they must realize that to make it with their extremely high prices, they've got to offer a different kind of shopping experience. And so they do.

It is amazing what a little note or word of appreciation can do for a person. This is however something that some people just don't get.
