    All jokes aside, its good practice for how you treat all of your other co-workers. Doesn't really cost you anything but a few keystrokes and you're ready to talk to the next person.

    Actually everyone. I worked in restaurants when I was young. Even high class ones. What you might have seen happen in movies when restaurant workers are mistreated is not a fantasy. And when I was responsible for a automobile accident and was very respectable to the responding office I ended up with a much less severe final offense as applied by the DA.

        I prefer the variation my father told me...

        Free translation:

        Be careful on which foot you step, it might tomorrow kick your ass.

        M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

          There's an old saying; "Never step on the toes today of the person who's ass you'll have to kiss tomorrow"

            I don't know where that comes from, but I would have thought it would be the other way round. After all if you are coming down the stairs and meet someone who wants to kick you coming up, they are at a disadvantage.

              So did I (sommer resort), and the worst customers were the wannabe rich (saving the whole year to spend one month there), instead of the really rich (coming the weekends during the whole year, not only in summer). They were extreme polite and respectful with me.

                Please and thank you is ripe for a phishing attack. "Just relax".

                    Some time back we took the grandson (about 10yo) to a fancy restaurant where he dropped a fork, when told to pick it up he said "oh the servant will pick it up", immediate smack up side the head.
