Question

Why do people who go to a restaurant more then twice no longer feel the need to say please and thank you?

Answer 1

cause they are very igroant and not all like us

Answer 2

I always say please and thank-you when having a meal, but why do head waiters hang on until you have just placed something in your mouth before sneaking up on you and asking, "Is everything all right sir?"  Good or bad all you can do is nod and make some sort of noise.  I want the opportunity to make a comment about the food and or service without mumbling past my food  ..................

Answer 3

i think its how you are brought up.  i always say please and thank you to the servers and so do my children.  My husband on the other hand doesnt.  he isn't trying to be rude, he just doesnt think about it.

Answer 4

I think its because so many people now don't have any manners - and forget that you are still doing them a service when they come to the restaurant. They are so wrapped up in their own little thing that they forget common, basic courtesy!

It means that when somebody does say please and thankyou you actually notice it because it is so rare these days. Sigh.....

Answer 5

I do all the time .....

Answer 6

Because sometimes people have bad days.  Or they just decide they are no longer going to use good manners.  Who knows.  

I ALWAYS say please and thank you to my server.  Back in high school I was a hostess and I know how hard everyone in a restaurant works.

Answer 7

Errr, I've never noticed this - being a regular at several restaurants, I always say please and thank you, but then I say please and thank you to anyone and everyone.

They probably didn't say please or thank you in the first place, it just becomes more noticeable if you recognise them!!

Answer 8

do you say thank you to your partner after you have made love the 2nd time?

Answer 9

Remember the old saying familiarity breeds contempt ?.

That's exactly what it is.

People should always practice good manners, no matter how many times they have been to a place.

Answer 10

i do all the time

Answer 11

Ignorant , Ill mannered Pigs  , the country is full of them.

Answer 12

Do they? Must be my age but I always say please and thank you regardless of how many times I have visited a particular restaurant.

Answer 13

well i always do its just some people dont have manners anymore

Answer 14

It usually starts at home. good manners are taught, what is instilled in them when they grow older depends on how much they have learned. saying please & thank you, seems to  be taken for granted anymore.

Answer 15

i make sure i say thank you and please and cheers and complement ... i hate it when people dont do it... its rude and being polite costs absolutely nothing and its likely to make someone feel good too!

Answer 16

I still say thank you and please, better manners = better service. better service = better tip.
