I am in the habit of saying “Thank you” to everyone I come across. I even thank the toll collector and the policeman who gives me a ticket.
Politeness is the lubrication for the social wheels. I have found, that everything goes better with a “please” and a “thank you.” My mother taught me this over 50 years ago, and it is still true. Thanks to her training, I do this automatically.
Thank you for reading my post.
