My newest pet peeve

[Richard Cranium]

Many times when I'm at a restaurant placing an order with a waiter/waitress, or at the register inside a store, I always make it a point to say thank you to the waiter/waitress when placing the order. The same goes with the cashier at a store. If that person happens to be in their late teens - mid twenties, more often than not, their response will be "no problem". Of course it's not a problem, because they just did their job! Is it too hard to show some manners and say "your welcome" like you should?

Does anyone else see this trend or am I just living in an area that is more rude than others?

Good to see that I'm not alone.. at become a grumpy old man!!

It is the common response here as well.
They don't mean to be rude, it is just lazy English. I've had dipshits respond with no worries ....as if I had fears that my french fries would not be in the bag.

I don't mean to sound like a grumpy old man about it, rather it's an observation of people who don't know manners.

no problem , you're welcome........ same thing

if they ignore you while looking at their phone, then it's a problem

Or they just say 'perfect'......

When someone tells me "Oh, you're fine!", I cannot resist but to reply "I know it."

you are and have been forgotten.

I'm also not sold on "appreciate you".

I can appreciate a gesture IE- I appreciate it.

...but I'm not sure I'm ready to commit to appreciating the person in their entirety just yet.

Lately, I am annoyed by the response given when you offer someone something.
Hey Bob, you want a beer?
No, I'm GOOD.
You ARE? Good at what? GOOD at being a wimp that doesn't like BEER ??

Manners have always had to be taught, usually by parents or grandparents. I was going to say it seems like they are a thing of the past, but, even when I was younger there were people with no manners. Although, they seem to be pretty scarce these days.

I would reply to that question with "yes, 2 please" is that wrong?

I've had dipshits respond with no worries ....

I do a parts run every day and the backward hat wearing 15 yr old skateboard kids say this all the time now. FFS.
I'll GIVE you something to worry about..

Hey Bob, you want a beer?
No, I'm GOOD.

My FIL would always say with a weird look on his face " I didn't ask if you're,...good?"

 

[wahya]

no thanks, I'm good

One word changed the whole meaning of the phrase

I think it depends on your definition and interpretation of what "Manners" is RC. I would be more peeved if I thanked them and got nothing back. At least you are getting an acknowledgment/reply. Just sayin' is all but I think you are taking this way too personally. JMHO...cr8crshr/Bill

 

[mmissile]

"my bad". I could strangle them...

I agree completely with RC.
Ignoramuses

 

[eldubb440]

evidentially, I'm not nearly as old and grumpy as I thought I was
