Saying “Thank you” seems to be an afterthought these days. I’ve seen an employee bend over backwards to help a customer who afterwards departs without a simple “thanks,” treating the person as a piece of animated furniture.
I don’t always get it right, but I do try to say “thank you” to people, e.g., to my wife, or to the server at a restaurant, the cashier at a bank, etc. It costs me nothing to say “thank you,” but I’ve seen people’s eyes light up at a simple gesture of appreciation.
This just goes to show how parents have no intentions of teaching their kids manners, and responsibilities …..too busy with their games and cells. The family unit has gone to hell in a hand basket….
Today, no one sends out written thank you notes( except me) anymore. God forbid they’re too busy with their cells….
