I have enough civility to not stand in a door way when others want to go in or out - it's also called 'spatial intelligence.' Yes, I say "sorry" if I bump into someone as a result of my own negligence. Yes I greet someone when I walk into a small shop, and "thank you" after s/he helps me purchase what I want.
I also have enough manners to NOT send other people rude emails when they correct my grammar or spelling here on Yahoo Answers. So far I have received five such emails from females with bruised egos. Courtesy extends beyond the grocery store.

Hello. Yes I do say I am sorry when I bump into someone or if it is my fault. I do say hello to people whom I walk by in the street or store. Being polite is the easiest action a human get bestow on another human. It seems a shame that ill manners are sometimes favored in our world today. Great question.

Yes always, to all of the above and then some.
It's so much easier to be nice than to be nasty, I guess that's my natural tendency.
I wouldn't have it any other way.

Yes, I do all of the above. It is second nature to me, always the right thing to do.
