DON'T ASK/POLITELY DEMAND!

           I over-heard a young lady ask if she could have a certain pastry in the bakery at the local Hy-Vee here in WDM. It reminded me of years ago, my son, Darrin, was always "asking" if he could have some particular thing at a restaurant.

         Eventually, I taught him to politely say---"I would like a sandwich or whatever-please!" I always thought it would have been interesting if someone, after my son was asking-that person, would have said NO- you can't have that! A thank-you at the end of ordering is always the right thing to do!
