What Happened to Adulthood



What has happened to Adulthood?  Let me explain what I am talking about. 
I am talking about adults being and acting like adults.  We see if every day on TV. 


Grown people fighting like cats, and dogs on national TV. Reality show and YouTube videos showing teen moms and teenagers fighting in the streets.

A lot of times the problem is not the children but the adults who are suppose to be teaching the children.

How can the children learn when the adults are screwed up themselves?

We have to have standards; my uncle used to say to me all the time Children are learning every day, the question is WHO they are learning from.

I work in retail and often times I wonder who let the children in and didn't watch them only to find out that there WERE NO children and that it was the adults who threw trash on the floors, or messed up the bathroom, it was the adults who make most of the mess, and look at you like you are there maid.  I can remember my mother telling me "boy I ain't your maid."   While being a maid is a noble profession it is not what most of us signed up for. Adults should clean up after themselves, and what are you teaching your children when you leave a mess, or fight another adult.


It is time for us to grow up and start acting like the adults that we claim we are.

What customers think is good service

In theory, the “tricks” to delivering awesome customer service are pretty straightforward: Empathy Appreciation Helpfulness Seems pretty easy, right? Just develop these three skills, and you'll be set. Sure, you can tune these by mastering the “thank you,” or by understanding how things like tone and word choice make a difference in support. But in practice, delighting customers isn't so straightforward -- what actually works doesn’t always reflect what most of us would assume.

Delivering Personal Customer Service

Delivering personal customer service makes a huge difference. Here’s how to do it right. “Personal service” is the “synergy” of the customer support world. A buzzword used so often – by support agents, customers and marketers alike – that it’s lost meaning for many of us. Which is a damn shame, because personal service, when done right, is incredibly powerful. It can be the difference between a customer forgetting about you the minute their transaction is over, and that same person returning to become a loyal customer for life. But there’s a difference between saying that you deliver personal service (as so many companies do), and actually doing it. Today, I’m going to share what personal service really is, why it’s so important for your business, and actionable tips you and your team can use to start making your support more personal. The Value of Personal Service A few years ago, a survey by Genesys asked more than 9,000 consumers about what mattered to them most when it came
