Just heard it on Inside Edition....the kiss and the hug are dead when greeting business associates, according to their lifestyle expert. A firm handshake is the appropriate greeting. Get with the program QVC and quit the huggy/kissy with vendors!

Love all your posts. Lived in the land of enchantment for many years, miss every moment there. Now live in Arizona.

Keep up the good work.

Hand shakes are just as bad during the flu season.

I say, let's just knock elbows, just to be safe.

Kiss and hug have NO place in a business environment

cant imagine why it was every allowed

I am not a k/h'er in most encounters, it's just not me

But QVC tries so hard to convince us that it’s NOT “just business associates” but BFFs Forever, Close Personal Friends, yadda yadda. They’re always on the push as far as making the presentations as NON business-like as possible. That being the case, QVC’s response would be that all their hosts have way more personal relationships than business, so that particular bit of etiquette wouldn’t even apply to them. QVC hosts hug and kiss the vendors because they’re all deeply personally involved in each others’ lives and can’t help but kiss and hug. Yeahhhhh...

It’s their fantasy world and they want it to be ours, no matter that most customers aren’t that stu...naive.

I agree; it should be stopped. If vendors and hosts are truly good friends, they can greet each other off-screen however they want. But when it's "show time", all I can think is no, no, no. Especially in flu and cold season. (Especially when hosts are doing multi-product shows, so are greeting one vendor after another.)

Just introduce the vendor and get on with the presentation. No need even for a handshake!

Kissing is never appropriate from a male boss to a femaie worker. Who started that??? Disgusting.

I prefer a fist-bump. That is as much "affection" as I want from a stranger.

That goes for church sign of peace, too.

No handshakes during the flu season, it's fist bump time , or that elbow tap some people do

People in the Far East bow to one another as a sign of greeting...much cleaner that way.

Now that I think about it, fist bump is not all that great, either. Some people rub their noses for various reasons. Those fingers can't be all that clean.

I broke a finger on my right hand, the top part bends down, so I use it as an excuse not to shake hands. I've had enough almost painful handshakes from big burly men at church.

@SilleeMee-

I suggested this for church the other day-"Why don't we just bow?"

But I don't think thats going to happen.

Depending on how crowded the pews are, bowing could lead to the bumping of heads.

Maybe a curtsey is in order.

@Noel7-

I hate it when your hand gets crunched! It doesn't have to aqueeze so hard to be sincere!

I also suggested doing away with the greeting part for awhile in church.

Some churches do that and I think its a good idea.

Otherwise people might feel awkward about not shaking hands and feel they should do it anyway.

Or the peace sign but I'd rather just forgeddaboudit for awhile until the flu season is gone!

How about a head nod instead of a full bow? Some people do this don't they? My Japanese mom used to give a head nod to strangers upon greeting them. The full bow is too formal and the nod is more or less pretty casual.

@Kachina624 Until we get a handle on flu season, I think elbow taps are a great idea.

@on the bay

Our church used to do a greeting while standing in the pews, turning around and shaking hands with people behind you, down the aisle, etc. I never liked that. Someone always has a cold or a cough, you know by the little ladies behind you that take so long getting a cough drop unwrapped

I really dislike the, "Thanks for coming." "Thanks for having me." with every vender on the show just as much!

After all, they know they are hosts and vendors....do we think we don't know why they are on the show?
