Open Letter Urges Clerks On Politeness And Patriotism
The Food Administration Bureau in Washington sent an open letter to clerks in grocery stores urging polite and patriotic conduct during wartime rationing. It asks clerks to avoid dismissive remarks about regulations when customers complain about sugar limits, stressing that duties to inform and support the war effort rest on their words and tone. The piece notes some customers lack patriotism in objecting to rationing and affirms that clerks should uphold standards with tact, though it acknowledges some sympathy for workers facing rude behavior.
