I always try really hard to smile, be friendly, and make conversation with anyone I encounter in one of these situations. I know that busting your hump at a fast food restaurant for minimum wage isn't the most fun thing in the world and I can allow anyone a bad day, but I'm like you. If I repeatedly get bad service somewhere, I don't go back. And I really do appreciate those who do their jobs, no matter how tedious or low-paid, with a smile and a kind word. :)KTWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03709756075367058704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4182537822027964947.post-42713914375728477242009-11-14T16:49:14.629-05:002009-11-14T16:49:14.629-05:00Great post.

She has to put up with one pharmacist who is always wearing a mad face.Sewconsulthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00427879934589715958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4182537822027964947.post-73317934856925755902009-11-14T14:07:18.501-05:002009-11-14T14:07:18.501-05:00I agree with you on the trash collectors.

You hit every example on the head for me.<br /><br />When I go to a restaurant or anywhere...I treat the employees with kindness and even make small talk with them hoping it makes their day a bit more pleasant...the old 'killing them with kindness' routine. It usually makes a difference in how they treat me from there on.<br /><br />xoxo<br />JanieBlondie's Journalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12988377413260331618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4182537822027964947.post-44613897301938666302009-11-14T10:13:48.192-05:002009-11-14T10:13:48.192-05:00Great post, Knitty!

I can see why you'd prefer to go elsewhere if treated poorly. <br /><br />My granddaughter works at a take-out for Carrabba's, a restaurant, and she is a happy employee with a ready smile. Some of her shifts are difficult, but she still makes the effort to be pleasant to each customer. So, I thank all the take-out helpers too.<br /><br />I hope you have a good day.SmilingSallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10479373067844173653noreply@blogger.com
