Manners reflect personality.

I think a big indicator of someone's personality is to see if they have manners when they talk to somebody who can't do anything for them.

English On The Go

So for me, I think manners are very important.

And something that I always think is interesting to watch is

to see how people treat other people who can't do anything for them

and whether they treat them with respect, whether they're using their manners or not,

because sometimes people can be very nice to you because maybe they think you can help them with something,

but then they can be very rude to, you know, waiters or people in customer service.

And, you know, I worked in customer service for quite a while,

and so I think it's very important to have manners as the person serving and as the customer

because it goes both ways and at the end of the day, we're all just humans trying to get by.

And, you know, it costs nothing to have manners.

It costs nothing to be nice to people and to maybe give them the benefit of the doubt.

Maybe they're having a bad day.

So I think it's very important and it's a good indicator as to someone's personality,

you know, to see if they have manners when they talk to other people.
