I get paid on Thursday, when handed my paycheck I always say 'thank you' my supervisor
just looks at me and walks away.

I have told myself to stop it with the thank you, I can't, it's part of me, it's how I was raised. It may seem like no big deal I would suppose, but, we live in an era where people are being shot for having loud music playing.

Road rage is not a rare thing either, in the past month I have had 2 people nearly run me off of the road because I obey the speed limit, I know that they were pissed, I was in "their" way.

Does it seem like we have an abundance of ass holes?
 
Nice guys finish last. Green Day wrote a song about it.

Even "southern hospitality" is met with a stink eye.

Oh yes, a plethora. Everywhere. I'm starting to rebel now too. Assholes deserve to be treated as such. The one time an old boss flung our pay cheques at us, I told everyone to not touch them and leave them where they lay. The next morning they they were on our desks with a notes of apology. Later He tried to oust me, but I ended up with his job and his office. He moved back in with his parents.

Do you ever say 'you're welcome'?

I can make eye contact and nod, smile, wave (in traffic), and/or say things like 'no problem', 'sure', and such, but the words 'you're welcome' never come out of my mouth. I don't know why, it seems too much, too bulky, or something - maybe too rehearsed/scripted - I just don't say it.

I certainly don't feel this way. I have no problem saying "you're welcome." I'll say "sure" or "no problem" sometimes but "you're welcome" the most.

But without assholes dicks would be forced to fuck pussies. Also, with the abundance of people we need an abundance of assholes so they can dump their shit in the toilets.... otherwise they'd all be so full of it they'd all be talking shit.

:lol:
 
umm i still say thankyou to people ...

I noticed in some emails, there are no hi or anything.
Some write like text messages which is not good.
 
Manners never go out of style and most people will respect you for it. The world is filled with assholes so pay no attention to them. They usually end up victims of their own attitudes. Life has a way of balancing the score. Generally speaking, as far as civility and manners go, one need look no further than our own politicians and any given day in Congress. It's sad that their collective childishness and ill-mannered behavior is far from the role models they claim to be.
 
Why is money of concern? Wasn't the need for that done away with centuries ago?

To Kahaih's point, I've noted in the past couple of decades a progressive tendency of cashiers to reply with "no problem," which conveys a different message than the traditional "you're welcome." It suggests that the buyer is a potential source of trouble, disruption, or annoyance to the cashier, and it seems to overturn the onus of obligation. The same cashier rarely speaks a "thank you" at the sale and seems to view the transaction as being a service to the buyer. The old paradigm was that the buyer was selecting the seller and the thank you was for doing so.

Or, it merely reflects that Americans are progressively giving up ideas of class and "rank" and instead interacting with each other as peers rather than as master and servant, the relationship that some apparently feel ought to still be reflected in any business transaction, however mundane.

While I would not disagree that a paradigm of "the customer is a potential problem" has crept into the ordinary conducting of business, I do not agree that it's merely "servicepeople en masse have decided to adopt worse attitudes." It's largely been an example set by employers and corporations and their policies in general, who make it virtually impossible to actually interact with anyone higher than the very lowest rungs of the service ladder, even up to and including literally hiding their contact information, phone numbers or any method of direct contact from easy access. In other words--- if you have a problem, we don't care, just make your purchase, or file a complaint with one of our low-end shift managers who have absolutely no direct line of communication with the owner or policymakers of the business in question in many cases.

And make no mistake--- the famously bemoaned "drop" in customer service is every bit as much to blame on the American consumer as well, who is not interested in good service anywhere near so much as lower prices, and has made that patently clear with their shopping habits over the past several decades, resulting in giants like Wal*Mart and similar ilk where the customer service ethos of stores like Nordstroms have not really dictated the flow of where customer dollars went. People voted with their wallet that they'd rather have cheap crap made in China sold to them by someone earning minimum wage in a mega-store where no one really specializes or can even answer questions about any of the products, and then act bizarrely surprised that customer service doesn't resemble what it might have four decades ago.
