Compliments should never be limited by vocation. Miss Manners believes that one should feel free to comment positively to anyone socially. A female certainly would not mind if you complimented her hairstyle or color. By the same token, she should gleefully render anything positive about her appearance as a compliment. In this particular case however, the correct words would be ; "you have a nice bustline" since the admirer indeed cannot see her actual breasts. Females who feel creepy after they are complimented in such a manner are obviously the ones who are in need of therapy.They need to understand we no longer live in a puritan world.

You are kidding, right? You can't just say that to someone, especially in a place like that. Where do you expect it to go? No where. Unless they are flattered by that and single and would go out with you or something of the sort. If some random person said that to me I would be offended. So, yeah, it is rude.

This is only acceptable in certain cultures.
However the polite cashier will respond with the traditional knee to the testicles.

When the loan manager asked the customer why he had been late on past loan payments his response was...............
"All the floatation devices of the women behind the counter distracted him and he forgot to make the payments!!!! lol

If you find a person an Yahoo! Answers asking retarded questions is it acceptable or rude to say "Your a flaming retard."

This is a joke, right?
Never, ever, ever comment on a woman's body when she is just doing her job. She didn't choose you to come in her line and comment on her body. It would be extremely rude and inappropriate.

Acceptable. If you plan on never showing your face there again.
