Become a manners ambassador

Good manners are based on respect, kindness and consideration for others. Set the example for others by following the rules you learned in kindergarten. Use the “Magic Words” Please, Thank you, Pardon me, You’re Welcome, Excuse me and I’m sorry. Follow the Golden Rule” treat others as you would wish to be treated. If someone is rude to you, don’t perpetuate rudeness by being rude back. Take the high road and give others the benefit of the doubt. Perhaps they have had an especially hard day, maybe they lost their job. Try to be patient and set an example by showing extra consideration and kindness.
