If You Please

It was a rough day today at work. It seems like every rude person in the world showed up to the bank and that about 60% came to me. I just don't know what's wrong with people these days. I recently posted about rude America, but now it's far more then that. I think some of these people need etiquette lessons.

The way they act and express themselves is not right. But I guess that's just my opinion. And I'm not saying that certain people, like rich people, are more mannered. A lot of the rude people we get are people that have some money. They think they can do and say what they want because they have a few bills. Well let me tell you that money does not buy respect, it just rents it for a while.

You have to be respectful to others if you want respect. It doesn't matter what industry they work in, we should treat each other like human beings. Some people believe that if you work in the service industry they can treat you like crap. That is not right. I don't have to kiss your ass because I work at a bank that depends on your business. I will do my job but that's it.

About four months ago I was working and we closed the drive-thru at five after. A little late, then I was putting my work up when I hear a honking, and my associate who was helping someone that the personal banker had been helping told me someone was at the commercial window. Well I went to see what was going on and it was a lady that said she wanted to get a check cashed and I told her we were closed. Well she said she needed it because she was going on vacation, I said OK that I would do it and to put her stuff in the tray. Well I did her transaction and after she took her stuff she threw a ten in the tray and said "This is for the overtime."

That was a very rude comment. I don't need her money. And my job with the customers ends at 5:00 pm when the open sign turns to off. So I just put her money back into her account. That was a total slap in the face and she knew it. People like that think that money solves everything. Well it doesn't and I'm not saying all people that have money, just some.

Well I try to treat everyone as I want to be treated and I always always stay calm when an issue arises at a restaurant or anywhere like that because I know how it is and I don't want to be yelled at for something that is beyond my control.

Here's to everyone walking a mile in someone else's shoes.....
It also doesn't hurt to say please or thank you....
