Only signed letters will be considered. Names may be withheld upon request. Over the years I have repeatedly observed some of the most discourteous behavior displayed toward one another, and the situation seems to be worsening. People routinely throw change on the counter instead of handing it to a cashier. Individuals cut corners in the hallways, abruptly coming face to face with a person walking in the opposite direction, and fail to excuse themselves.
Drivers nearly run over pedestrians as they enter the basement parking garage.
Some individuals never greet the person who daily empties their trash can or delivers the mail. I can't help but wonder what example these individuals are setting for their children. Common courtesy takes but a minute and does much to improve the work environment. Several articles cited laudable efforts undertaken recently to that end. A visit to one of the concessionaires at the Main State building, however, tells a different story to visiting diplomats and other dignitaries.
