Kids watch me work too you know so I just smile and carry on really /emoticons/biggrin.png

 
kids love me doing water fed pole... what i do to some kids is... i just work normally ... then when they got the face near the window i put the brush over their face asif im scrubbing their face and they start howling lol /emoticons/tongue.png

 
I like the idea of it, the same way I like the idea, of saying hello to people as you pass them. There is not really point to it, but it results, in a friendly positive experience.

There is a point to saying 'Hello'.....it's called being polite.

When I go out to a restaurant with my wife, on a Saturday night, and we get a pleasant helpful waiter/ress, I tip. There positive attitude towards there work, resulted in a pleasant evening for me and my wife. Even though they would no doubt rather be somewhere else, on a Saturday night.

No need to 'tip'...as being helpful and pleasant is part of their job.

If they would rather be somewhere else on a Saturday night, then maybe they're in the wrong line of work.

On the other hand, your night could be completely spoiled, with someone who was not pleasant.

If my night was ruined by unpleasant and incompetent staff, then I would complain to the manager and I would expect to be compensated.
 
Often when I am working away, you will see the occasional kid on the other side of the glass watching me intently clean the windows. A potentially frightening experience for any child, depending on how I present myself. So I draw them a smiley face with my squeegee in the soap. Which of course makes them smile, and in turn me smile, as they tell there parents to 'look what the man at the window drew'.

Attitudes and contagious.
haha, i do exactly the same thing! how weird!lol

 
Come on bingo 'being polite' is the action, the point of that action, is the friendly atmosphere it creates.

Do you really think your night would go well, if you went complaining that the waiter/ress was not as happy or ethusiastic about there job as you would like.

I dont always tip, but if i think its deserved i do. The point, is to show appreciation for the job they have done, and the plessant experience i had because of it.

That's what I said isn't it :rolleyes: .

If people don't complain about shoddy service, how will managers know how to improve the service their staff are providing.

It's not about how I would like the service provided, it's their job to deliver that service to an acceptable standard.

I show my appreciation by simply saying 'Thank you'. /emoticons/tongue.png .
