With the exception of a cable company who seems to oppose good service, and will remain nameless, customer service is harder to give when you don't know where your next rent check is coming from. Pretty hard to smile if you are a stressed out wreak. Just my thoughts...
Manners seem to be a thing of the past, a thank you is easy to say but excuse me seems to be forgotten. I'm nearly 71 yo and I find myself opening doors for the elderly, saying excuse me if I get in someone's way, back into them or get too close to their personal space but never do I hear excuse me from someone else, and opening or holding a door open is unusual and deserves a thank you and a smile of appreciation. Same thing for good customer service.
