    My thank yous are inversely proportional to the politeness of the person behind the counter. When served with no eye contact, speech or recognition of my presence at all whatsoever (can I mention P***r C**y?) I say a huge loud Thank You Very Much Indeed Thats Great Thanks For Your Help Really Appreciate It Goodbye Now Have A Nice Day Fab Dabee Dozee.

    Yeah so I may look like a mentaller but it gets my point across.

    Cannot stand lack of manners, surely goes against natural instinct, no? Depends what you grow up with I spose.

    I thought I was the only one!

    The other one I like with ignorant shop assistants (they aren't all like this of course) is to start with "Sorry to interrupt your texting..."

    Its amazing how many of them say "yah, no bother"...

    Also, If you walk past someone and it's only the two of you around do you always say hello?
    Not a good practice if you are an attractive female in a large metropolitan area.

    A real pisser is to hold a door open for someone only for them to walk straight through and utterly ignore you. I deal with them by shouting "thank you" rather loudly on their heels. Mind you, even that gets ignored by the genetically ignorant....

    aw bad manners iritate da fcuk out of me!:mad:excuse my language but it really does my nut in!! i work part time in a shop and i am ALWAYS polite to each and every customer even if they snap at me and call me names!just because you have a bad day there is absolutely no need to take it out on innocent strangers! i may b sarcastic in my reply but only if they purposly go out of their way to be rude. some people get a kick out of degrading shop assistants, while some people wouldnt even wate their breath by saying "hello" let alone "thank you"i always say please and thank you without even needing to think about it, its just instinctivly there! a simple "cheers" is sufficient! :o

    Me: "Get I get a packet of Drum Light please"
    Shop: Puts it on counter
    Me: Hand the money "cheers"
    Shop: Thanks
    Me: Receive change "cheers"
    Shop: Cheers
    Me: See ye
    Shop: Thanks

    It's hilarious, but so automatic.
