My point has nothing to do with being pleasant or polite in dealings with the public. More has to do with the general way or philosophy of "the company." Suggestions on finding better ways of doing things or changing policy that was enacted (even if the policy has been proven inefficient or disruptive) is not tolerated. One does not speak in a way that would be considered anything but positive. Hey, if that is the way you want to run your busisness, so be it. Free enterprise, but like I said before, I'm not talking about bars or eateries, those are private non-Villages businesses. I just wanted to be more clear, not arguing.
