operators-too many, in fac t-who, because
they're in l! seller's market, wi th more
customers than merchandise and machines,
forget that another day is coming. With
careless indifference and sometimes posi·
tive rudeness, they are slowly preparing for
the day when they will be bounced out in
a state of fury, never to return.
In a recent survey among restaurant
patrons it was disclosed that more people
complained of discourtesy in service than
of any other factor. And as for retail
storcs, Emi ly Post in a recent article says
that she receives dozens of letters each
morning. from people who have been out·
raged and bewildered by the treatment
they have received at the hands of short·
sighted sales people.
As a matter of fact, most locations are
very tolerant when they find they can't get
what they want. They recognize that Uncle
Sam's needs come first and are ready to
make what sacrifices are needed. But they
are entitled to have their patience matched
on the other side by the operator serving
the location. There is no reason for a
man to be told in substance to go to the
devil just because he has innocently asked
for something the operator cannot give him.
The more gently he's let down the easier
it will be for the operator to retain the
friendship and goodwill of the spot. It all
seems so obvious when you think about it.
It's merely a matter of getting yourself
and your routemen in the proper frame of
mind, so that every man and woman shall
reflect a spirit of friendliness and follow
the ' line of action dictated by the purest
self·interest-the line that leads straight
through the door of postwar prosperity and
progress.
An organization's spirit of courtesy and
' helpfulness generally is reflected from
hi/!her up so the whole thing starts with
you. Are you building business for tomor·
row--or asking for trouble? Why not pro·
claim a "Be Kind To Location·Owners"
week in your operations right now? You'll
find the results so promising and encourag·
ing that the "week" will stretch through
on repeat performances week·after·week
from now on, It's worth thinking about.
