Most of the time I do not post on blogs, but I have to mention that this post really forced me to do so!

Ah, perhaps these establishments should all adopt the same strapline – “If you’re in marketing, don’t shop here. You’ll only be disappointed although it would give you something to blog about.” See my post at http://magicwandmarketing.wordpress.com/2009/01/12/why-are-you-making-it-so-hard-for-me-to-give-you-my-money/ for more on this theme…

And on the subject, which well-known business support organisation’s Help Desk, when asked for some information said they didn’t know anything up-to-date about the matter, could send me some information that would certainly be out of date, and offered to get someone to call me back *probably within the next 3-5days*? Not good.

Comment on Manners – worthless or so very worth it? by babubasu

Thank you Jennifer,

Absolutely!

Nowadays, good manners stand out a mile, mainly because they are so rare.
I wonder if in our need to be P.C., we’ve become too scared to be courteous.

For example, some men have become scared to hold doors open for women because they are worried the women are patronised or offended. Indeed, I have seen some women take offence. However, I would suggest that in the vast majority of cases, women (and men) would appreciate someone opening doors for them.

I think if someone is ‘patronised’ because of your good manners, it is their problem, not yours and you should carry on as you were.

Thank you, thank you! It’s interesting that others are experiencing, and writing about, the “fading of politeness.”

Rudeness seems to be seeping into society more frequently these days. Used to be that lack of manners, in a world filled with more common courtesy, was something that stood out like a sore thumb.

But that was then, and this is now. Today, it’s often just the opposite: it’s the kind, polite behavior and small acts of common courtesy that cause me to do double takes (did that person really just say, “thank you”? Someone, pinch me!).

Thanks again for a great article.
