Usually, I'm just so am...I never even noticed that. Usually, I'm just so amazed that the cashier looked me in the eye to say SOMETHING. It just depends on what you're used to I guess. Unfortunately, in Palembang, the cashiers are always chatting with each other so they don't say a word to the customer. Not all of course but plenty of them.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03542715899155247984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31636548.post-16978442502343590692007-09-19T19:41:00.000-05:002007-09-19T19:41:00.000-05:00I was thinking about this - today has been a weird...I was thinking about this - today has been a weird day blogging most of the things I have thought I have come across in blogs - uncanny.<BR/>To say thank you has been ingrained in me whether it is to a waiter getting me food or to a someone in a office. But people don't and worse still if you say thank you and please they take it as a sign that you're a pushover. It's a weird world these days.<BR/>I make it a point to say 'you're welcome' sarcastically to someone who does not say thank you to me.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10719992587281654845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31636548.post-40684092216241751282007-09-19T11:37:00.000-05:002007-09-19T11:37:00.000-05:00Yes, I'm afraid you're right: "please" and "thank ...Yes, I'm afraid you're right: "please" and "thank you" are gradually going the way of the passenger pigeon. I guess I don't mind the ubiquitous "have a nice day," but "have a good one" really grates on my ears. I keep wanting to respond, "have a good one of what?" I think I only hold back because Agnes would glare at me.Bilbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14213505386288233192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31636548.post-26144564579691194292007-09-19T09:41:00.000-05:002007-09-19T09:41:00.000-05:00They did a study in New York where a guy opened th...They did a study in New York where a guy opened the door for 100 people. Out of those 100, only 12 said "thank you." Even worse, only 35 even acknowledged that he opened the door for them.<BR/><BR/>RichAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
