I'm happy you had a good experience. I worked retail/ sales in a department store, some time ago, and I dealt with really mean and ornery individuals. <br /><br />Welcome! :DShaharizan Perezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02917164925694287209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677782007716602281.post-51216332519225618742013-01-21T04:44:37.459-05:002013-01-21T04:44:37.459-05:00I am a fan of good manners to everyone and from ev...I am a fan of good manners to everyone and from everyone. Having had many lowly jobs it really opens your eyes to the effect some simple courtesy can have. Had a cleaning job in a solicitor's office for a while- everyone there was suspiciously nice to me- turns out they had gone without a cleaner in their previous premises so the appreciation was genuine!

Although it's been almost 18 years since my last sales job, I still remember what it's like to be treated with disdain and disrespect. I wholeheartedly concur with your statement. :DShaharizan Perezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02917164925694287209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677782007716602281.post-5741232205336990002013-01-18T11:47:10.999-05:002013-01-18T11:47:10.999-05:00And today many treat retail people like that.

Hahaha. ...Nostalgia is only for the majority, eh?<br /><br />Hahaha. No, I was trying to put this in the time frame of the 1930's. During that time, only the wealthy vacationed on Staten Island (Rockefellers, Vanderbuilts, Carnegies, Astors). Now, Staten Island is mostly composed of middle class workers (including myself).Shaharizan Perezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02917164925694287209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677782007716602281.post-12822110538084111252013-01-18T09:37:38.371-05:002013-01-18T09:37:38.371-05:00The things so many people don't think about.
