It alludes to them being brought up well (refined) as opposed to not being brought up well and not taught proper manners (crude). I'm not sure, Jill refers to literature, but maybe the use of the term to describe well-mannered people is more prevalent in the UK and Australia, where our 'English' is very similiar. :) Andrei: Yes, Jill is right - we use refined here in Australia to describe a polite, well-mannered person.

It's perfectly acceptable! There are many people out there without acceptable manners... Maybe the clerk at the store hasn't had the opportunity to read much literature?
