It’s always a good idea to use your manners in public. It’s what we teach our kids and just the overall nice thing to do. At this one place it could even save you some money!
There is a coffee place over in England who created a sliding scale based on how polite the customer is. If you walk up to order and say “hello” and use “please” you pay about $2 for your tea or latte. If you say just “please” it might cost a little more. If you say neither and just bark your order “tea” or “small latte” you’re going to pay over $5 for it.
Some people might hate this idea, but those are probably the rude people! It’s a good reminder to always be polite wherever you go. It could pay off in the end.

This is something you’ve probably always heard or been confused about. What do do with old batteries and if it’s illegal to actually throw them away.
If it’s your standard alkaline batteries like double or triple A’s it’s usually fine to just toss them no problem. Unless you live in California where even those are illegal to throw away.
Car batteries or batteries containing mercury are illegal to throw out everywhere. You can recycle them by dropping them off at places like Wal-Mart, Staples, or most autobody retailers for the car types. But a quick google search will tell you where to find battery recycling locations near you.

Cecilia is embarrassed that her husband, Nick, parks in the “parents with infants” parking spots. Their children are older and certainly not infants. Nick argues that it’s a fake spot and that it’s ridiculous for stores to create these parking spots. It’s more PR than it is practical, so he’s going to park in them if they’re available. Do you agree? (37:01)

“Bike Buses” are what people are calling the newest trend among parents and kids. They are popping up more and more all around the country. Basically a big group of parents and middle school/high school aged kids all get together to ride their bikes in a big group to school in the morning. Then home in the afternoon.
It’s kind of a genius way to solve the bus driver shortage. Remember that from earlier in the school year? It also gets the kids some much needed exercise and even cuts down on the always infuriating traffic situation in the morning during the school year. Some of the kids say they are even in better moods throughout the day because of it.
What a great idea. Let’s get a few of these going here in Connecticut!
