You can't learn common sense, you either have it or you don't. So Amanda, the employees you hear talking about their personal everything using very inappropriate language are the ones with no "common sense". A business cannot teach employees "common sense".

Also, I recently experienced this. A couple were applying for a credit card at a large department store during the Holiday season this year - and this was done at the register. First attempt took 15 minutes and was denied. Then made a second attempt with another individual on the account - another 15 minutes! Must this be done at the register during the Holiday season?

I wish more businesses would concentrate on etiquette with their employees. I do not like going into a shop and hearing the employees talk to each other about their personal lives. Too much detail and I've often heard inappropriate things! Anna offers some really good advice. I wish more businesses would concentrate on etiquette with their employees.
