A little stroke for UPS.

[Tenor CS]

Some manners stories: I go to school on Mondays and Wednesdays. I have one of those rolling milk crates that holds all of my books. Thankfully, I have been lucky in always having people hold the door open for me for that little extra second to get that big, heavy cart through the door. I ALWAYS thank them. I'm glad to say, people at my college seem pretty nice.

It's funny, going to a community college, I run into a LOT of fresh-out-of-high-school kids. They don't really understand yet the protocol that should be used when talking to instructors. I would never DREAM of calling one of my instructors "Mr. [Lastname.]" I always go first with "Dr. [Lastname]." I've had some correct me and say that they don't have their PhD's [yet.] And from then on, it's "Professor [Lastname]."

And, from my server/bartender days, one of the lessons my first ever restaurant manager taught me: "The proper response to thank you is You're Welcome. It is never No Problem."
