Servitude and Politeness
Servitude and politeness
As in proper business service
Have become scarce commodities
In The Netherlands
More often than not
Paying customers will receive
Rude and unprofessional treatment
By badly trained shop staff
Compare that to the young girl
In a family hotel in Antalya, Turkey
Who after serving me a beer
Naturally adds:”Afiyet olsun –
Please enjoy, Sir”
