Just feel throughly fed up of how rude people are. Will always,always stop and pull the buggy to one side to allow people past before us, did this on 5/6 occasions today and was only thanked once.
Also, live in a city with a large racecourse, on race days dread going into town. People walk four abreast, and are not prepared to step aside to let anyone else past.
But the thing that gets me most is how some people seem to think it's completely acceptable to take out frustrations on any 'customer relations' employee, or to simply treat them as though they don't exist.Was in Argos today waiting for MIL's gift to arrive at the collection counter. It took a good 15 minutes to arrive, but the lady behind the counter was extremely apologetic, very polite and chased it up for us without being asked. Whilst we were waiting,serveral other people collected their goods. Most of them didn't thank her, no one smiled and everyone ignored her attempts to make conversation. The shop was very busy and obviously badly run, and several people were snappy and borderline aggressive, demanding to know where their goods were etc.
I understand we're all busy, and waiting can me a mare (DD was due a feed at the time) but it's not the fault of the person behind thr counter. See this kind of thing every day and felt like crying for the poor Argos lady...
