04 Aug 07 - 11:27 PM (#2119416) Subject: RE: BS: Frequently asked questions From: Little Hawk "Can I help who's next?" (The standard line you will hear from the server in 25,000 Tim Horton's Donut shops all across Canada.) The last girl that said it to me, I smiled and said, "Ah! You wish to render assistance to the next person in line? Excellent. I am that person. Now, let me see....what do I want tonight?" She was not amused. They always expect you to be in as big a hurry to be done with the encounter as they are... |

04 Aug 07 - 11:55 PM (#2119428) Subject: RE: BS: Frequently asked questions From: JennyO Yes LH, that is often the case, although it depends on the person and their circumstances. Sometimes they appreciate more than the automatic response. I tried it out one day at the supermarket checkout and I was glad I did. The gals and guys at the checkout always say "How are you today?" They've been told to say it, obviously. The most they expect back would be a mumbled "All right thanks" or "Fine". One day a particularly tired and bored-looking girl at the checkout asked me the usual question. I'd had a particularly shitty day myself, and decided to actually say so, instead of the usual mumbled answer. So I said "Well actually, it's been a b****r of a day!" She was surprised at first, then smiled, and we actually had a proper conversation like a couple of human beings instead of automatons. By the time I left, we BOTH felt better. |

Down is WAY up!" |

05 Aug 07 - 11:51 AM (#2119692) Subject: RE: BS: Frequently asked questions From: Bill D Oh...by the way. One of my pet-est peeves is about radio talk shows where they allow listeners to call in questions and remarks. I'll swear ¾ of callers seem to feel it is bad form to begin without asking "Howyadoin'?" first!!! "Go ahead, Sam in Tulsa, you're on the air." "Ok, howyadoin', Mike?" I am WAITING for Mike to say, "The same as I was doing 5 minutes ago when Joe in Buffalo asked me...and 10 minutes ago when Bob in Oshkosh asked me...just FINE!" |

(So I say 'have the day you want') That reminds me of the first or second grade teacher who, in art period, said, "Today I want you go draw me a picture, about anything you want to draw about." A shy little girl comes up and whispers, "Miss Chumley, do we have to draw what we want to?" Dave Oesterreich |
