The article I'm referring to is titled 'I'm impressed', and is submitted by Marilyn from Australia. I feel so strongly about this, I'm possibly being a little traditional because of the way my parents raised me. Here where I'm working, Steamboat Springs Transit provides a free bus shuttle service to locals & tourists around town, although I'm still so suprised that people are so incredibly rude. I find it is the younger generation in town that are the worst, and swear at you as they hop on the bus. All I'm saying is a simple 'please' and ''thank-you' will improve peoples living conditions, I will bend over backwards to help someone out; thats if they are polite to me!!
This is probably a fairly deep subject for ERR, though something I am quite passionate about. Give it a try people, while I try to educate the 'land of the ignorant'- I just shut the door on them as they exit the bus, they become a little angry though I teach them a lesson for swearing at me Gav style....
