This is actually something that I keep in mind at all times. I'm in HR, so I meet everyone - the entire hierarchy of people from the Housekeeping Aides to the Doctors. And I make sure that all of them receive the same courtesy from me. The woman who cleans our offices (Ana) is a nice girl with a quick laugh, and she's just making a living, like I am. I like her better than the AVP that came in today, actually - she's much nicer. We all just have different jobs.
When Q and I were on our honeymoon, we stayed at the Four Seasons in Maui. Pretty swank, I know! We enjoyed all the hard work the staff does to make you comfortable, but noticed and were horrified at the attitudes displayed by the people around us. They ignored the people coming to refill their water at the poolside, or the ones with fruit to offer, or anything.. they just ignored them, didn't thank them, nothing. It was disgusting.
Thanks for reminding people not to suck so much. It's interesting, though depressing, to hear how it is for the person in that position day in and day out.
