preferential treatment

now ok, we all should treat each other well and nicely...as i was told, do unto others as you would have them do to you. a patient had an unsatisfactory interaction with another person today, things escalated and supervisor's were involved...this that and the other you know?

well the patient apparently worked at a local shop, a very popular shop in philadelphia. and the other person made a comment...'you didn't tell me you worked there'.

ok, what difference does it make? you don't treat people nicely because of where they work. you treat them nicely because its nice. really now. etiquette lessons for all please.

i do my best to treat all as i would like to be treated, just as i was taught growing up. but do understand im no saint, and that if you come to me with attitude, i'll do my best to brush it off but you may just get it back. to me respect is earned, and not to be expected. you give, you get. no giving but you expect....good luck with that.
