RE COURTESY.
| (Frons Miss E. A. r., Washington.)
C.H.C.'s harangue in RICH is q
perfect example of selfishness and
egotism. Maybe the Offices and
stores who have commodities or
services to sell should have COM
plete personnel overhauling to get
rid of the present attitude that
those in business are doing the pub
lie favor to insult them. Those in
positions of responsibility should be
more strict with themselves as well
as those under their supervision,
looking on all employees as public
servants.
Am I still hoping for the mil
lenium when I dream Of the day
when you can ask civil question
and get courteous service and depart
with satisfactory purchase and a
warm feeling of friendliness? It
seems to me that the problem is
very much like that of child train
ing-that spirit of willingness to
serve and please must be instilled
in the youngest, newest clerk by
those with the responsibility of
training them, else they only reflect
what they see around them in those
of greater responsibility.
From Mrs. W. S. S., W1sEington.)
1 wish to add my voice in approval
of CHIC, Washington, with regard
to the need of educating the shop
ping public in the ways of courtesy
and good manners. For almost a
year I worked behind the costume
jewelry counter of one OF Wash
ington's finest stores. was there
only five hours a day and my ex-
periences with the public were too,
too frequently grueling, to say the
least
Whatever manners most women
possess, they seem to leave at home
when they set out for town to shop.
When they bring a friend along, the
agony of the salesperson is more
than doubled.
The first thing the public should
learn Is that the girl behind the
counter is human being with
brain and with feelings-not some
special kind of SHELF that moves
and talks.
Second, it should be realized that
the salesperson's time is not some
thing free to waste at will. When
the customer, herself, is in hurry,
she expects prompt, efficient atten-
tion. She would get it if she and
all her allies remembered not to
waste the clerks time when she Is
out on a pleasure only" shopping
trip.
Third, pleasant, courteous atti-
tude on the part of the shopper, will
beget superior service from any en-
ploye A cross, demanding attitude
instinctively sets up defensive
front regardless of the situation.
