Politeness Costs Nothing
Hi folks, how are you this evening? Diet coke.
The name of a soft drink is not an acceptable answer when asked how you are this evening. I usually act like I didn’t hear them and ask again how they are doing.
Usually that is enough to get a response. I have had to ask a third time on a few special occasions. I can and have taken a lot of abuse, but I refuse to be treated like I don’t exist.
I don’t care if I have to ask a hundred times, this meal goes no further until you answer my question. It’s common courtesy. Lurker117
