Money cannot compensate for bad manners..or can it?

Money can't buy class, and the old adage that manners cost nothing is so true.

I completely agree. I'm much more likely to go out of my way for a decent, respectful customer than someone who thinks they own you because they're paying you. I have been known to get slightly abrasive with particularly ar sey customers. I even once suggested to one customer that if they thought they could get someone to do the job quicker and cheaper then they should get them to do it. They got us!!

I don't blame you. I work at a hotel and while many of the guests are nice, we have some who think they are entitled. You can't make them happy no matter what.

If you have the choice of rejecting these jobs, that is good. Many people have no choice. They get to meet these kind of rule and arrogant rich people all the time, and they cannot just refuse service. Think about the casino staff, hotel staff and others whose job is to service the public.

I have zero tolerance for poor manners and disrespect. Period.

I realize that, in life, there are people who have the power and think they can treat others any way they'd like. At work, they usually can get away with it because of their position. However, that doesn't make it right. I've worked jobs everywhere from reception and secretarial work up through management positions. And because I started at the very bottom and because of how I was often treated, once in management I made sure to treat others with respect, no matter what their job was. It made everyone feel better and they worked harder. I'm so sorry that you and your co-workers have to put up with such a lack of respect. It's wrong in every way.

Not wanting it, when there is no necessity is one thing. But if the job is a necessity, and another job may mean lower pay, which may not be sufficient for mortgage repayment, then I would tolerate the nincompoops till I clear my target. After that, the uncouth client can go to hell.

Sometimes I wonder whether these people feel embarrassed when they are rude to others. Or maybe they lack this emotion when they behave badly. In other words they are not aware or couldn't care less of what others think of them.

I salute you for that. keep doing that and we hope they will learn their lesson one day.

It might depend on perspective, where one is and what they value most-if someone needed money, or wanted it, to them it might make up for it, and I do understand that. More then once I've had to face some kind of pressure to ppl who thought they owned me and wanted me or things I say to align up with their theological agendas...but in regards to theology, I'd rather lose a job then compromise-get someone else to do it, and they know they can and will (we're a dime a dozen-and they know it)...but if there is any truth to what we say, then...their money won't change things no matter how many ppl they buy to frame their theology. That's slightly different context then rudeness, but slightly related to the subject matter re. work, and who pays who for what. In the end, money thrown about will not make up for certain things. If money is used as an extention of power, or to say "I can do this and you will do that", then the only ones who will influence such arrogance will be the ones who refuse and can't be bought-that kind of thing stings an ego-and...that is why I don't think money should make up for bad manners...because bowing to it, will just feed a person's ego...and that's the problem.

I can't deal with condescending people. I have enough of an ego and pride to never be able to tolerate that behavior.

My son's girlfriend runs into that problem all the time. She is a cake decorator and the store she works at is in an exclusive neighborhood. She said they are the rudest people she's ever met.

it depends in the conscience of the person, there will always be a justification on his bad manners

Sure, just as money can't buy love, it cannot buy or compesate bad manners.

Bad manners are very annoying. In some cases there are ways of replying softly. Sometimes that helps.

Manners is priceleaa for me

I dislike anyone with poor manners. There's no one better or worse, we are all equal in the sight of God and we ought to be to one another. Glad you don't have to deal with them, sorry for the ones who have to. Have a blessed day
