Barclays Bank decided to give us a rather contrived lecture on the relative merits of being polite to each other by presenting us with this exaggerated look at what constitutes behaviour. True, many of us probably do just assume that word applies to children, but the point here is that it changes as we grow up and the impressions we both give and take can have quite profound effects on how we interact with and respect each other. There is a scene reminiscent of something akin to “Monty Python” only without the humour and indeed the whole gist of this borders all too closely on the patronisingly preachy. I think it was intended as a staff training film to remind staff to be courteous and polite to each other and customers, but for the rest of us is something that says quite a bit about certain employers and their somewhat chauvinist attitudes.

Barclays Bank decided to give us a rather contrived lecture on the relative merits of being polite to each other by presenting us with this exaggerated look at what constitutes behaviour. True, many of us probably do just assume that word applies to children, but the point here is that it also needs to be considered as we grow up and the impressions we both give and take can have quite profound effects on how we interact with and respect each other. There is a scene reminiscent of something akin to “Monty Python” only without the humour and indeed the whole gist of this borders all too closely on the patronisingly preachy.
