No one wants to wait in line longer than they have too. In today's world where long lines are the order of the day, this survival guide will insure a more relaxed arrival.Perhaps the most overlooked opportunity when it comes to 'showing appreciation' are the receptionists, secretaries, assistants who are really the gatekeepers that schedule so many of our important appointments. When you're in need of a last-minute appointment or just trying to get through to someone important, the way you expressed your appreciation (or not) will long be remembered.
