Nearly ever bar, restaurant, shop, bus and taxi has a sign saying "treat our staff with respect" or "be kind to our staff" - which I fully agree with. Staff in London though seem to have forgotten this works both ways! #London #Retail #customerservice #rudeness #training #respect #mutual

This… when will they start to stand up to him? Being President does not give him the right to be rude and disrespectful. Enough already. #Disprespect #rudeness #rudetrump

In today's dose of #rudeness - cheese should never be wet. Moist, maybe - but not soggy to the touch. Fight me.

Brined cheeses (like feta) excepted - though I usually pat them off a bit before consumption.

Woman learns a valuable lesson after guy ends their date and apologizes to the waitstaff How you treat people in the service industry is often used as a measure of what kind of person you are. Arguably, the same could be said for how you treat anyone in a customer-facing job, whether it be the sales associate at a department store, the cashier at McDonald's, or the janitor in your office building. While people may think that these jobs are not skilled positions, they do require an immense amount of skill that has to be learned. Sadly, though the skill itself is valuable, it usually isn't as valued by society as a whole, and often leads to people treating those in customer-facing jobs poorly. But in 2023 when a woman went on a date with a potential partner, her poor behavior towards the waitstaff caused him to pause. The story was shared by a woman by the name of Barbara NOT Barb on X with a lengthy thread about her daughter's recent interaction. Though the details were juicy, a deeper message about kindness clearly came to the forefront of the story. Barbara's daughter works as a server at a high-end restaurant in Los Angeles, and she was asked to bring water to a couple's table in someone else's section to help out. But according to the X thread, when her daughter arrived at the table, the woman at the table started berating and insulting her. Customers upset with waiter.via Canva Photos. Apparently, the couple, who were on their first date, were waiting for their drink orders from the bar. If you've ever worked in a restaurant, you know that servers don't have anything to do with how quickly your food or drinks get made. They keep an eye out for the items as they care for other tables, but either this woman didn't realize that or didn't care, because she yelled at the server for how long their drinks were taking. The only mistake this particular server made was being kind to a co-worker and offering to drop off glasses of water. > — (@) After the server tried unsuccessfully to de-escalate the situation, the woman demanded to speak to the manager. It's not clear if this was the woman's first date ever, but it was her first date with the stunned man at the table. Since people generally attempt to put their best foot forward on a first date, it's not surprising that the man decided to end the date right then and there. But before he did that, he gave a lesson in kindness. Before the manager could reach the table, the likely embarrassed man intercepted him. "He asked to close out the tab. Explained it was a first date and that the woman's behavior disgusted him. He paid the tab at the bar and then requested my daughter and the original server come talk to him. He apologized profusely for his date's behavior," Barbara wrote. "Needless to say, everyone was floored, in the best way. The woman had somehow been informed that the date was over. She walked out, head down, and was no longer talking down to anyone." > — (@) Being kind to others is one of the easiest things to do. Maybe the woman in question was having a bad day—everyone has them—but our bad days probably shouldn't bleed over onto unsuspecting strangers. Hopefully, the servers and the date got a lesson in kindness and standing up for others. _This article originally appeared two years ago._

A quotation from **Thomas Fuller**

> When thou art in the Company of Ladies behave civilly, and shew good Breeding. They will easily pardon a Man’s Want of Sense, but rarely his Want of Manners.

"Five ducks glide across a calm body of water, moving in a gentle line from left to right. Their bodies are evenly spaced, creating a rhythmic procession that feels both deliberate and effortless. Each duck leaves behind a subtle trail of ripples, soft waves that fan outward and dissolve into the glassy surface. The water itself is a mirror—reflecting the ducks, the sky, and the soft hues of early morning or late evening light. The palette is muted and tranquil: silvery blues, pale golds, and hints of lavender shimmer across the surface. The ducks’ reflections stretch beneath them, slightly blurred but unmistakably present, doubling the quiet grace of their movement. There is no visible land, only water and sky, which blend together in a seamless horizon. The scene feels timeless, as if the ducks are part of a slow-moving ceremony—an aquatic procession through a world of stillness. In the bottom right corner, the image is signed “© Swede’s Photographs,” a quiet mark of authorship that doesn’t disturb the peace." - Microsoft Copilot

#Rudeness was a display of actual or perceived disrespect by not complying with the social norms or etiquette expected within a relationship, social group, or culture.

Quebec restaurants can now charge you for making a reservation and not showing up | CBC News Under new rules in effect today, restaurants in Quebec can charge up to $10 for each no-show.

Hmm I didn't realize this was a new thing. It is a new level of #rudeness and is causing #restaurant owners losses.
