Show B6 -- r- The Herald Journal Logan Utah 2002 Saturday September Enough already chewers By Kathy Mitchell & Marcy Sugar Creators Syndicate Inc DEAR ANNIE: I recently spent a Wednesday afternoon running errands and transacting business then met friends for dinner at a local restaurant While waiting in each of these places I observed two things that bothered me about the employees First many women were inappropriately dressed for the workplace and second several employees were chewing gum with their mouths open Why do women think it is OK to wear tops exposed bra straps and low-cblouses at work? This shows a lack of dignity and class Nonetheless I could tolerate such attire if it weren't for the gum chewing Gum chewers look like cows and make enough noise to irritate everyone within earchot They snap and chomp and occasionally spray the area with saliva When I turned in a form at the bank the employee spit on my hand along with the form I had to stop at the ladies room to wash it off When my friends and I went out to eat later we noticed several working in the kitchen There was no way to prevent the food from being sprayed! We left in disgust Arc my standards too high or too fussy? ut gum-chewi- gum-chcwe- rs FOR BETTER OR WORSE ioust picked ie up HEP F(?tMP6 FROM Tt Have 1 lost perspective? Please Annie tell me if I have the wrong idea about this -- - No Spitting Here DEAR SPITTING: Your standards are neither too high nor too fussy Unfortunately too many people these days have no standards at all If women knew how unprofessional they ' looked with bra straps hanging out of their work clothes they would stop The same goes for the cow-lik- e gum chewers Close your mouths when you chew! Wear proper clothes to the office! Enough already! DEAR ANNIE!
