| 1432668 | 2017-03-28 06:10:00 | My senses are somewhat inured to the Americanisation (bastardisation?) "have a nice day", but what really grates with me is the imperative verb "enjoy". Usually uttered by wait people in establishments euphemistically called "restaurants" in the mistaken belief the establishment can somehow be morphed one notch closer to a Michelin Star. :illogical Is that while they sprinkle some Erbs on your food. |

| 1432670 | 2017-03-28 21:23:00 | I agree with WalOne and PCTek. Th e phrases mentioned are meaningless. My pet grump is Radio Shows where a caller ( after a string of prior callers) wastes the Radio Host's time by opening with "How are you". The Host generally has been greeted with that by several prior callers.Surely the Caller must know this so why does not he/she just say a pleasant "hello" and voice their question or opinion. The "how are you" is a mindless waste of time for the host and listeners. It is not a case of being grumpy but respecting the feelings of others. We do not know what concerns they might have at that particular time. Say something pleasant to them instead.. |
