I Wonder Why Some People Are So Rude

I wonder if I should just start being rude because being polite isn't helping me.

I was at the library since my [b]home[/b] internet is currently down. I walked up to the help desk where two workers were talking. I walked up right in front of them, and they continued talking. I politely waited about 15-20seconds then waved them down like "hellooo". Then i asked for what I needed.

I have never understood why some workers don't even acknowledge people who walk up to them clearly needing help. A simple smile and a ☝( one moment) signal would suffice)...

Lousy customer service is everywhere these days. My guess is, their manager wouldn't appreciate their behavior.

@lasergraph probably - although sometimes the manager is one of the offenders!
Beggars belief. Where's the training? 😟

@Cheesecake I know you're right. Work ethic is dead.

@lasergraph that's why I always try to compliment or praise good service when I occasionally get it - online reviews etc. So rare, sadly.

@Cheesecake I have occasionally found good service and always extend an appreciation for it. Too many fail to understand their customer is the reason they have a job.

@lasergraph spot on ☺
