Lack of Manners/Appreciation for others
9/18/2015 at 11:01 AM
In general is a hug peeve of mine.
A big issue I have is people who don't have the common courtesy to say thank you or respond (even if to let them know they won't be accepting your offer) when a contractor gives them a quote.
Realize that the person who came to your home to get the information to create a quote for you may have taken hours of their time to collect the data and put it into paper. They may have had to make a dozen phone calls to get pricing or check stock - all time that is taken away from them making money on another job.
When people spend so much time on their phones texting pointless conversations (I agree with the poster above - phones are making people dumber and ruder), I find it hard to believe they could not find one minute to send a "thank you for your time, but we are going with another quote" note.
Treat people how you would want to be treated, right?
