I just came back from Europe and this
is what I observed:
People are polite; lady always walks on a gentleman’s right; gentleman always
steps down from the bus and helps lady down; gentleman always goes into a
restaurant first; but when it comes to picking up the baggage at the airport,
gee, wherever I go, it seems to be the same behaviour.
When standing in line for your luggage, you can be civilized, queuing up as the British do, in this case, not crowding the luggage carousel so that everyone can get their bag without somebody in the way, or be an absolute bore. You will not get your luggage any faster. But you will be recognized as a discourteous, inconsiderate person – or a gentleman. Your choice.
What people are saying:
Such a good idea to put a tip in the newsletter. And this is a good tip, indeed.

Your service of teaching “good behaviour” is truly needed, as it is mostly missing from the educational system!
