Men, what’s one small, seemingly insignificant thing you’ve noticed that can be a telltale sign of the difference between a genuinely good man and a bad one?

Apparently that's what cause my wife attention to me. She said: it's funny how you treat the MC Donald's attendant the same way you treat your boss.

Apparently I was raised right. Anyways, that's very true.

Edit: wow, thanks for my first ever reward!

It's a fact. I always treat everyone as an equal or better than myself.

In real life anyway. I can be a real dick to some people on here, LOL.

I treat restaurant staff well, I don't judge or mistreat people who are doing what many people consider to be "lesser" jobs.

I hold doors for everyone, always say thank you and please to people.

I just try to remember that everyone may not be in a place in their life that they want to be , or even expected to be, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't be shown respect.

It's not that difficult to do.

People I work with are shocked that I know the janitor’s name.

The company I used to work for, the janitors were the coolest people there. I always told them their job was way more important than mine. Let them all quit and the place would devolve to anarchy so quickly.

Almost every single job wouldn't notice or would run smoother if certain admin / c suite people were gone, and vice versa many places would grind to a standstill if the entry level was gone. For certain small businesses if staff protest and stop showing up to work in unison it basically kills the business right there, as tons of managers/owners don't even know how to do the day-to-day work or otherwise see it as beneath them. With the economy this past year I've seen that happen to MULTIPLE small businesses trying to get one over their employees (usually wage theft), until they were gone entirely.
