miss manners United feature Syndicate dear miss manners i work in a Large shopping Center As a Security officer for one of the being in uniform and outside the i am frequently asked questions such As do you work Here can you Tell me where store name is do you know All the stores Here do you know where store or business name is where can i buy a Brand regarding questions one through i am often tempted to answer and let the person take it from since i did answer the question asked of the reason they want to know these is so they can get to where they want to Why dont they just ask where is instead of forcing themselves to ask another question i have been trained in the As Well As police to answer the question which i a few people get irate when i do regarding questions i have on occasion replied that there Are no bathrooms in the shopping this puzzles Many and some have asked me where one would go if one needed a i explain to them that a bathroom is a room in a residence where one would be Able to take a Shower or and if that is what they want while in the shopping they Are out of a few but Many really become question six annoys Many because they expect us to know that which Security All we can do is i am surprised to find that Many people Are not aware that Public restrooms Are available in practically All department stores and am i wrong in just answering the question asked of and not following through with the obvious answers they Are wanting to know gentle Reader miss manners can imagine that standing on duty in front of a department store All Day can tempt one to amuse oneself by playing word games that will delay people with full bladders from reaching the facilities they but she certainly will not condone this pastime As if it she who also spends the Day answering would skewer you on your use of the term which is As much of a euphemism for toilet As but the quibble is both terms Are in acceptable usage in this and commonly if you wish to limit yourself to the duties of being a Security without making that slight extra Effort to be helpful to your fellow miss manners will not condemn although she will shake her head sadly in what would it Cost you to help people do you never expect to find yourself in a strange situation where you need instructions dear miss manners my husband died a few years and i have not nor have i any intention of doing now Ive been told by a Friend that i no longer have the right to use his must i lose that too gentle Reader miss manners knows your who has been running around the entire spreading misery and misinformation among the recently where this and so Many of her mean spirited got the idea that a widows name miss manners cannot it is simply not a married woman name May take Many forms these Days and the overriding Rule is that one addresses a lady As she wishes to be so there is another etiquette violation your Friend has but it is never affected by the death of the april stripes
