[QUOTE="KTMom91, post: 150102, member: 4040"] This is a pet peeve of mine as well. After ten years in retail management, I automatically go into "manager mode", as my family says, and working on customer service skills when we're shopping. For example, when leaving the checkout, I have been known to tell the cashier, "You're supposed to say thank you." I have explained how to run a credit card through the register to a cashier who was very obviously on her own for the first time. And I have told strangers in stores to pick up after themselves, because "minimum wage is not enough money to be picking up after YOU." That said...I always say thank you to anyone who opens the door for me (thrilled a little guy when I said "Thank you, sir"...his mom did the right thing!), and have taught Miss KT to help out in these small ways that are so important. But I have to agree, as a society we are getting ruder and more self-centered, and I have to wonder where we will end up if this continues. [/QUOTE]
