Well, this seems to be a pinnacle of etiquette.

What I said is that the person performing a service is held to a higher standard, not that
the customer has a right to be rude. The fact that another party is rude is not an excuse
for rudeness on the part of the other.

My mother doesn't know, and neither do half a dozen dictionaries I have
consulted. They all define as a slang word for complaining.

I didn't consult a dictionary to get a read on manners. I went there to see what
distinguished the word "complaint" from "." Other than the latter being slang,
they are synonyms in the context in which they were originally used. It is you who
seem to have a problem understanding both etiquette and Englilsh.

Ahh yes, last refuge of the man without a point. Attack the typos.
