I wanted to add, if a NON-JEW holds the door for you, be especially makpid to say thank you and make a Kiddush Hashem. I have unfortunately seen the opposite when a bulvanish person swept past the guy who was holding the door for him, like he was royalty and expected it to be done, without even looking at the person. I was coming through the doorway next, and the guy continued to hold the door for me (even after being treated rudely by the other person), and I said thank you, and what a pleasure it was to see that chivalry is alive and well. He was most appreciative of my acknowledgement of his nicety.
