12、name plate. If hed have said, Oh yes, Irving, how could I forget you? Id have been ready for him. Theres nothing personal here.

14、orry, I cant. they feel a little put down. They say, No one will know. And they put it in your pocket. You say, I really cant.It gets to a point where you almost have to hurt a person physically to prevent him from tipping you. It was not in agreement with the stores belief in being friendly. Accept

15、ing tips was a friendly thing and made the customer feel good. I just couldnt understand the strangeness of some peoples ideas.

27、luding the government. Why do business institutions possess this great prestige? One reason is that Americans view business as being more firmly based on the aim of competition than other institutions in society.

Theoretically, if one business tries to take unfair advantage of its customers, it will lose to competing business which treats its customers more fairly. Where many
