Do As I Do, Not As I Say
Restaurant | Michigan, USA |
(A customer walks into our sandwich shop with her very young son.)
Customer’s son: “I want a sandwich!”
Customer: “When we want something, we ask politely, remember?”
Customer’s son: “But I want chips!”
Customer: “No, dear, you ask, ‘May I please have some chips?’”
Me: “What will you be ordering today, ma’am?”
Customer: “I want a kid’s meal!”
