It’s a Great Day in South Carolina
Rep. John King (D) has a burr under his saddle and it has to do with the greeting that the Republican Govenor of South Carolina wants all state employees to say. Apparently, because of high unemployment and a number of other things, it’s not really a great day in South Carolina, according to John King, so why act like it is, right?
When the news reporter asked Mr. King what people should say when they answered the phone, he responded with “Hello. How may I help you?” Wow, that’s nice, isn’t it? Normally though, in government departments – at least the ones I’ve done business with (though I cannot speak for South Carolina) – I usually get a response like this when I call and someone picks up the phone: “Merchandising Department, this is Pam,” or “Department of Motor Vehicles,” or “You’ve reached the _________ department. I’m either on the phone or away from my desk. Please leave a message including your first AND last name (and please spell your name), your telephone number (please say that twice), and a short message. Please speak slowly and clearly and we will get back with you just as soon as we can.”
