[ClermontFLReUseIt] Admin: Common Courtesy When Requesting Offered Items

 

Hi Again Everyone!!

Have you ever requested an item that you REALLY wanted and
weren't the chosen one to receive it? Here are a few reminders
which may help make you the chosen one in the future.

We received an email the other day from one of our members which
brought this to our attention once again. This isn't the first time we
have received a message regarding requests for items and how many
people are borderline rude, very rude or just not considerate enough to
even say please and thank-you.

This is what she said. "I received thirteen emails to my offer today. Of
those thirteen, only one bothered to post a greeting and use simple
manners such as please and thank you. Most of the responses
were rude. Things like; I want this, when can I come get it, still have
it? There were no hellos or I would like to have this if it's still
available, or thank you."

Folks, remember you are getting these items for free - from a kind
and generous person. Please remember to say please and thank-
you in your emails. I personally don't even consider someone for my
items unless there is a please and thank-you included in their request.
Being courteous isn't that hard to do and it just might be the deciding
factor in whether you get the next offered item or not.

Regards,
Judy~
