Just had a couple of thoughts over the last week or so. We laid to rest an acquaintance last week who had been involved in the hospitality industry for over 40 years. I couldn’t help but think “they just don’t make ‘em like that any more’.
People who actually understand the concept of service, of making everyone they come into contact with feel special. It seems to be a lost art and not something taught at hospitality schools. It’s all very well knowing the mechanics of how to serve food but what about great service?
Hundreds of people attended his funeral so it shows how many people’s lives he had touched and thought him special enough to make the effort to go and say goodbye.
I think along with manners and respect we have lost some important values that cost absolutely nothing.
I realise this has nothing to do with eating healthily or taking control of your financial future but I just wanted to share my thoughts. (Although we do pride ourselves on ‘good old fashioned service at Fruit & Vegies on the Move!)
Interesting reaction, thank you.
