The other week, my husband and I were in the Burger King drive-thru. The man working the first window took my husband’s credit card and handed it back without saying a word. And then, when my husband thanked him, the guy said, “You’re welcome.”
Hmm…I think something’s gone awry…
This New York Times student opinion question is about good manners:
Students: Tell us how you’d define “good manners.” Is it knowing proper etiquette when you’re in a restaurant? Saying “please” and “thank you”? Being kind and thoughtful of others? Do you think having good manners is important? How would you rate your own manners? Do you think our society in general is becoming less civil and more rude? Why or why not?
