I hate rudeness in general. I am always polite even when I have to be firm with people. For instance I have to get firm with my wireless provider. I tell them the way I feel, but I am never rude. I hate it when I hear someone else be rude to someone in a work position lower than them. Like did anyone see that episode of Bridezillas where that one girl thought that she could talk to a door man however she pleased because she was wealthy and he was a doorman? That irks me to no end. Be as polite to the person at the drive through as you would be to your boss. You never know. I have had receptionists be rude. I tolerate their attitudes and then when I am with my doctor I mention that the receptionist seems to be having a bad day. There is no need to get into a fight with a receptionist in the middle of the waiting room. My thinking is that enough people have something to say about a receptionist than the issue she is having will be resolved or her employment will be.
Yesterday I went with my friend to pick out flowers for her wedding. Granted she isnt doing a whole bunch of flowers. It is a very simple wedding and all the brides maid are holding 3 Cala Lillies(sp?), she is holding 6. They will be tied with a black ribon bow. We went into a florist in out area that is supposed to be a great florist and were floored at the service. The girl running it was wearing tattered workout clothing, couldnt give us a price and nearly refused to write up the order. I couldnt believe it! We literally told her to get a pen and paper and write down what we wanted. I would want my employees to give off the impression that we want the business, not that we cant be bothered to take your order and not care about a professional appearance. Now this girl was not rude in the things that she said, but I think her lack of professionalism was rude.
