Please And Thank You

When you ask for something from someone, do you always say please and thank you? Although I always make sure to say please and thank you every now and then I do forget. Well, I don’t want to say that I forget about it but I sometimes am too wrapped up in a conversation with someone that I space out and forget about my surroundings. With this I am specifically talking about when I go out to eat. Every time that I ask for something I make sure that I end it with a please and follow it up with a thank you once whatever it was that I asked for is brought to me. Another thing that happens a lot is when people walk in and they are greeted at the door by the host with a hello, good morning, good afternoon, or are asked how they are doing, people don’t acknowledge that someone said hello or asked them how they are doing. This really gets on people’s nerves because they are trying to be polite and kind and are just trying to do their job. People when greeted or asked how they are doing usually walk in and just tell the host how many people they need a table for. Now, please do not get me wrong, I am not saying that everyone is like this because for the most part people are really polite and kind. I have always enjoyed working with the public because I enjoy people. I am sure you have heard the saying one bad apple spoils the rest. It does not take much for someone’s day to be rained on when they deal with a rude person. We have all been there before; one example is when we go to the DMV. Chances are we will walk out of there wondering why the person behind the counter was having a bad day. So always remember your please and thank yous.
