    Regarding pulling or walking alongside the cart -- I agree totally. Its easier, faster and generally safer than pushing the cart from behind. I mean, after all, when you're pulling your cart, what is the first thing that enters an "intersection"????

    Enguiring minds, and all that...

    I must have missed it, in my small town manners are commonplace. When I go to the city I noticed that changes.

    I think it goes with the small town mentality. When I was a kid if you did not mind your manners someone would call your Mom and rat you out! Everyone in town knew everyone else and there was a certainty connected to bad behavior.

    You never knew who was watching and they all knew you.

    Not anymore it doesn't. Big town, small town, foul mouths abound. I would make a connection to straying from religion but I won't because it wouldn't be permitted.

    Oh my are bad manners a real irratation to me. When I owned my own business and someone was lokking for a job there were two things that would keep them from being hired more than anything else;
    bad manners and bad grammar. I owned an insurance agency and I expected my employees to have good manners and to be able to speak with correct grammar so they did not sound like they were dumb as a rock.

    Those are two things I tried to impress upon my students. Good manners and good speak. You don't write the way you speak in business coorespondence, I don't care who you are. That goes for text speak in business correspondence. And street talk doesn't go in a business setting, especially in the interview!
