Manners are always appropriate if they're in response to a polite person showing friendliness.

If they're an asshole then I'll be an asshole too.

Proper manners are barely taught anymore. Unless you are outside of a major city. Then people tend to be mostly pleasant. If you think it's fake, you are probably from a major metro.

I agree. We were raised on a farm and taught manners or my Mom would give us a slap but if my Dad was there we got a spanking. It kept me behaved and mind you this was in the mid 90s to about 2000 when I turned 8.

Well put. Growing up in smaller areas where you have to work hard to get by (even as a kid) you tend to have a different outlook on hard work. You also tend to appreciate those around you that help you when you are in need.

When you live in the middle of nowhere and someone is broken down on the side of the road.. Unless they look sketch as fuck you pull over and help. You do that in a major metro. You get shot, robbed and your car stolen (if you are weak enough to be driving a automatic - criminals dont drive manuals).

It hurts asshole more when their assholiness doesn’t even register. I can rarely pull this off but when I do, I’m a smug asshole for the rest of the day. It’s great.

Is it not common to say thank you have a nice day or something to that effect after finishing your transaction?

Seems rather standard here.

U probably are retarded tho. :)

Just don't say it to the self checkouts.

I tell self checkouts thank you. So the future AI will remember how kindly I treated their ancestors.

I also take out a hanky and wipe their mouths after I feed them money. You can never be too safe.

Most men don't like change and stick the coins in a jar or whatever for someone else in their home to deal with.

It’s not impossible that you are both retarded and polite. That’s ok. Polite retards > Rude Geniuses.

People are rude assholes to cashiers all day long. They really appreciate a little bit of kindness. If you're hung up on thinking you're retarded for saying "thank you" when you get you change, then change your thinking so that you are thanking them for doing their job and helping you out. Add a smile and follow it up with "have a good day".

When my kids were small, we went to Wisconsin Dells and got some McDicks drive through after a day in a waterpark. When placing my order, I said my usual "Hi, may I please have a (insert food items)". When I pulled up to the window to pay, it was am elderly lady there, holding back tears, she thanked me for my manners and said "all I get all day are rude, snappy people who only say "give me a...... I need a.....". Manners don't cost you anything to share, and you never know when it will make someone's day.
