An Example to stimulate your thinking:

Think about the situation for a moment: Picture yourself walking into a department store. You know exactly what you want. You get the merchandise and walk to the cash register area, ready to pay. Two customer assistants are talking. Neither turns to recognize you. Instead, they continue discussing a party that they both attended last weekend. What are your feelings as you stand unattended? People did not bother to communicate your worth as a customer.
