Do you say please and thank you to almost everyone you see?

Question

I always say please and thank you. I also say yes/no ma'am and yes/no sir.
I think when people don't, they are thinking of themselves as better than everyone else.

Answer 1

Can you imagine that I once in the US was in a restaurant, and at the end of the meal the main waiter, screamed throughout the dining-room something like " everything's all right there ???? " - in the country where I live this is very basically unconceivable

Answer 2

i say it most of the time
but saying yes/no ma'am and yes/no sir is taking it too far

Answer 3

I say both please and thank you and sir and ma'am...I was punished as a kid if I didn't and I guess it just stuck...it is polite especially when talking to elders.

Answer 4

Yes........being polite is always a good thing

Answer 5

Please,if you don't mind,are you suggesting that you do not think you are better than everyone else? Please respond promptly,and thank you so very much.

Answer 6

I say please and thank you but I use ma'am and sir less frequently.

Answer 7

The words please, thank you, you're welcome, excuse me, etc. are definitely an ingrained part of me!! It would seem wrong not to say them, I like people to know that they are appreciated no matter how minor or major a role they have in my life!
