Looking For A Little Civility What Does Civility Mean to You?
Drivers & Diners Merge
by Thomas Dimopoulos Saratoga TODAY SARATOGA SPRINGS — Campfire s’moreo. Bourbon truffle maker. Baked placid cheesecake, and mango dragon fruit sherbet. There are more than 60 different flavors available at Stewart’s Shops, including those four which are part of the summertime limited edition kind. This summer, the company thought it a most appropriate time to re-introduce a limited-edition flavor that first premiered two years ago. It’s called: Civility. “Just plain old kindness,” “getting along with people,” “putting out a positive energy to
everybody you come across,” sound the endorsements in the company’s 80-second video clip re-introducing the ice cream flavor. “It initially launched in 2018, a time when things were similar to how they are today - a country divided,” Stewart’s Shops spokeswoman Erica Komoroske said this week. “Right now, we’re having a big issue with masks. People are really divided on the mask issue. COVID-19 has put people on edge and we see a lot of hostility, customers yelling at each other in our shops about wearing a mask. What better time to bring back ‘civility,’” she says. See Story pg. 11
