Good manner are and always will be important. Sadly I found that older people seem to think that they dont ahve to use their manners any more. I used to hold the door open for people when i would go to the bank and I found that eldery people would often walk through and never say thank you where as young teenage boys always thanked me. I found that to be rather interesting.

Good manners are always so important. In your scenario both the girl and the man who berated her show bad manners, but at least the young girl blushed so you were probably right in thinking she didn’t realise she was jumping the queue till it happened. Makes giving/taking a number and waiting to be called seem so much more innocuous, now.

Good manners are always important and always will be, although a lot of people are lacking them nowadays. My kids know a and use good manners every day

Funny that it was a man who made a point of queue jumping in these circumstances. I cannot count the number of times I have been waiting at a supermarket queue with child/ren in tow and a MAN (always a man) behind me says “Ive only got a couple of things, can I go ahead of you?” Its said as a question, but is nothing more than a statement… they barge ahead before I’ve had a chance to answer. Do they really think anyone with kids want to be shopping for a second longer than they have to?

Good manners are a must. I teach my daughter and remind her when there is a need. I feel there are some circumstances that others need to take a step back an analyse the situation before they give their 2 cents worth. Judgement can be just as bad as bad manners

Good manners are a must! I was taught by my parents the importance of using good manners and im doing the same with my daughter.

Good manners are important always. No matter the time or place they are essential! But I tell you what there are some nasty and rude people out there and they come I. All different ages. Our responsibility is to teach our children better and the the importance of not being bitter!

good manners are always important no matter what

Not as fashionable as they used to be but far more important than ever I say.

I Cannot stand demanding children who never say please or thankyou and who expect everything done for them. my girls are only 3 and 18 months, both know where the bin is, where the laundry hamper is and when to use it. my 3 year old gets nothing without a please or a thankyou and never gets stuff in shops or at others houses unless she asks with manners. i have been to peoples houses and seen kids who just chuck cups away on the ground after finishing a drink and when i ask now whos going to pick that up, i get the answer Mummy will, I almost want to scream. what are we teaching our children.

Yes good manners are definitely important. If any of my children don’t use their manners, they don’t get what they want until they do.

looking great and awesome

I have always tried to instill good manners in my kids. They are pretty good at using them mostly.

looking exellent

I work at a school in the office and sadly we have to remind so many kids to say please and thankyou for a bandaid or an ice pack. It’s really sad. I drill my boys if they don’t use their manners. They are still so important no matter how much society has changed.

I always smile and wave or say hello to people who i walk past in the street of the town i live in, I say please and thank you all the time and i will never go to a cash register whilst i am on my mobile phone, it is so rude.

i think it is important to know the basics, please and thank you, speak when spoken to (in the right situation obviously)..

I agree that the kid probably didn’t push in on purpose, in this case I do think that it is mostly up to the people serving to tend to each customer in turn. If you don’t have some sort of system (like tickets) the you should keep an eye on who was there first.

I wish everyone would teach good manners and not ignorance.

Nothing like hearing the little one’s saying please and thank you.

Manners are so important in today’s soceity!
