Well, at least things are moving in the right direction: no clothing was removed, completely. Unfortunately, the net total of topless teenagers has increased. Thanks for your action.

Following your suggestion, I contacted the management company for this franchise. I received a prompt response and was told that the manager had been contacted and had agreed to pay more attention to how her store was being represented in the public.

On Saturday, the kid was back on the street but, this time he had his shirt on. His two friends did not. All had their shorts practically down around their ankles.

I submitted a suggestion that they clean up their public image through the Blimpie web site.

To answer the opening question, propriety, good manners and common decency perished from the earth when we became complacent—or at the most, voicing our complaints out of range—with obscenity and vulgarity.

I agree with Mr. Griggs: it is up to supervisors to make sure the employees give the company a good image with anything from fast food to customer service. Although the teen’s dress (or lack thereof) isn’t surprising, it shouldn’t be expected, and I would hope that the supervisor wasn’t expecting it. Unfortunately, there is no way of knowing.

We’d like to think that all supervisors have an all-seeing eye, but sometimes that simply isn’t the case. From what Mr. Griggs says, he did not actually find the supervisor to complain. A better supervisor would have known already what was going on, but even a mediocre one would want to know customer concerns. Even a mediocre supervisor would have reprimanded or fired the employee.

If propriety, good manners, and common decency have indeed perished from the earth—and this is still in question if Clic-fil-A has decent employees—it is because we did nothing to save them and insist on singing their elegies.

I agree dead on!!! Customer service in all areas has gone down the tubes. Talking to a local phone company yesterday and it was like pulling teeth getting any information on an outage and trying to take care of an error on their part that they wanted to charge me for.

Nothing worse than having to go to a drive-thru and having to repeat your order 17 times.

You are dead on with this article. Where is the common decency with this person.
