Lets be honest...there is nothing more fashionable than someone with Class

"Uhhh, give me a popcorn....and uhh, a medium drink." I looked at the lady, who although was dressed horribly with a t-shirt that was approximately five sizes too big and hair a mess on the top of her her head, I wasn't concerned by her outfit. I couldn't even get a "Hi!" or a simple "Please". No, I thought to myself. Give ME that question again, nicely, please. I am not your popcorn vending machine, I am actually a PERSON. But, I indeed give her the popcorn and a medium drink. I nodded and smiled as she grabbed the food out of my hands and then watched her as she filled her cup with Diet Pepsi and entered into the store.

Ugh, how rude! I was legitimately upset that this lady looked straight through me to the menu. That's when it hit me, I didn't care what she was wearing on her body or how her hair was done, I did however care that she didn't even acknowledge my presence.

I am a huge supporter of classiness. I don't care if you are wearing Christian Louboutins or Old Navy flip flops, if you don't exude some sort of class, it doesn't matter what you look like, what size you are or how many designer bags you have hanging in your closet. There are simple etiquette rules that should be common knowledge to everyone. The fifth etiquette rule, found on Pioneer thinking, is "Say please and thank you" So simple, yet I witness first hand every single day people who you would think were raised in the wilderness with no concept of manners ever even presented to them. Is it really that hard? I would like to know.

Eye contact is so key. It confuses me when people don't make eye contact with me, especially at work. WHERE ARE YOU LOOKING? I am the one you are talking to...who for the next three minutes is your partner in getting all your stuff in to 50 plastic bags, in to the cart and then make sure that all of your merchandise is showing up at the correct price. I know, we have all been victim of being distracted while at the check-out, phone rings, lose your credit card, dog food explodes in the cart. I get it. It happens. But there is a fine line between normal life occurrences and rude.

Patience is also so important. Don't go looking for a fight. Not cute. I see this at school all the time. The teacher puts a math problem on the board, tells us to work it out by ourselves, and then tell her when we're done. SIMPLE. If you don't get it, leave it blank and wait until she goes over it. Again, simple. Instead of channeling your inner barbarian, and attacking the teacher because you don't understand, how about ask civil, respectful, relevant questions. Novel concept, huh?

If someone is rude and hard to even have a normal conversation with, nothing about your personal style or clothing choice is going to matter. As much as fit is necessary and important to your daily wardrobe, class is important for your daily attitude.

Lets be honest...can I get an Amen?
