Could ...and where has customer service run off to? Could you please thank me for shopping in your place of business? I don't need 'have a great day' . . . a simple Thank You will suffice. Also, I don't like the F word that I now hear at work and from children. I yearn for older, simpler, nicer times. Thanks for a good post.<br />Nancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11526258792227541799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-73185252266435787292015-03-13T13:49:42.282-04:002015-03-13T13:49:42.282-04:00I too find it disheartening that in today's wo...I too find it disheartening that in today's world rude, crude language and behavior is so prevalent. And oh the rush to spew hate on social media sites! <br />I would have given my kids what for had they acted that way.

One of them was flinging obscenities with no regard of who else might be within earshot. It was a private conversation, of course, but he was speaking loud enough that it was impossible not to hear him. To me, that's rude. Just sayin'.<br />Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-47128813409444418472015-03-12T11:42:26.822-04:002015-03-12T11:42:26.822-04:00That is something that bothers me too, Janet.

We would have been in so much trouble if we had acted like what I see today. Another side to this is definitely TV. Look how they shout over each other on talk shows, and don't get me started on "reality" shows! I sound like an old grump, but it honestly saddens me to see the old ways being pushed aside for this newer, ruder society.Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-38974156508270135882015-03-12T11:29:03.232-04:002015-03-12T11:29:03.232-04:00I too think standards have gone down. And like yo...I too think standards have gone down. And like you I'm sure each generation has thought that, but I'm horrified by some of the things I see and hear.<br />We go out dancing and the dancing of the young can seem pretty vulgar to an oldie like me, but I figure they're young and will outgrow it. But then I see women my age dancing the same way and I really find it disgusting.<br />And don't even get me started on vulgar language. I blame tv and movies for a big part of that, plus the fact there are so few adults anymore. Older people, but not adults, they're still children in thought and deed.<br />Off my soapbox.Mac n' Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05732924562630675589noreply@blogger.com
