As the world starts to open up again, bit by bit, I see a number of folks begin to travel. I also see a number of folks who are planning travel. And, another group of people who haven’t even begun planning a trip. I’ve been home for almost 90 days now. That’s the longest stretch I’ve been home since our son was born a decade ago.

Does Excellent Customer Service Still Exist? What About Good Manners?
