Today when I took the kids out for some lunch I found myself wondering how often do we say thank you for the little things that people do, even though we pay for a service. I was brought up to say thank you and I find it's a habit for me (I do mean it when I say it).
I've worked in the service industry and some people can be quite rude you learn to ignore those one and keep smiling :)

I always said THX in every time. When paid something, when I dont know I often to said thx until my friends confused. I think all their kindness should be apreciate with simple and honest word. "THX"

It's a sign of gratitude and for sure it does brighten up someone's day, always does mine and you feel more appreciated as well.

Honestly, I often say thank you for every little things have done to me. I think some people don't appreciate "Thank You" but for me saying thank you is a way on letting people to know that he made him/her happy in that day.
" Thank You" tshirtscene for posting this discussion. heheh

Almost whenever I get an opportunity to say thanks, I immidiately do so. Well this is one thing that gives a smile on the receivers face and i guess everybody should do so.

That's so right, everyone is human and we all have our bad day's, saying thank you and letting people know that someone appreciates how they are feeling with a simple thank you can change their whole day around.

I say thank-you all the time. And please and excuse me. Sometimes I think manners are a lost art. So many times I come across people who have none and not just kids adults too. i think It's sad.

A lost art indeed, and I agree it's not just kids either.

I say thank you alot. I say thanks to my husbane for even the little things like making me a drink of water. HE is the same, he will say thank you for the small things as well as the big ones. We have raised our 13yo son the same way, he is very polite in that way.
