How often do you say thank you?

I think people tend to say thanl you in the western countries more often than in the eastern countries,iti s usual to say thank you in every occasions, not saying it seems to be rude to people,no matter we are in the bank, in the restuarant where someone is serving us, we ahve to say thank you to them, even we get off from the bus, we will say thank you to the bus driver which I think it may not happen in easter countries, I will also say thank you when my friend help me,even it is a small favour, I will appreciate it. It does not cost you much to say thank you but it will give people an impression that you are a nice person,so why not always say thank you?

I try to say thank you every time that there's an opportunity to say thank you. It is a sign of courtesy. Like you I also say thank you to the waiters or other servers that serve me food. Eventhough we pay them for their service I think we should still be entitled to give them thanks for serving us. There are really some people who doesn't say thank you much. But I don't really care.

Wow! Really? That would be hard to get used to! I actually don't think that I would be able to do such a thing. I am always saying Thank You. It seems like the right thing to do to show a person that you appreciate whatever it was that was done. Even my own children...Thank you for keeping your voices down while I had a headache. Or, Thank you for cleaning your room up because the flow into the hallway was causing people to trip. Or even, Thank you for hanging up the clothes, that was very considerate. Often times, when you acknowledge someone with a simple thank you showing your appreciation, those actions are encouraged to be repeated.

I say Thank You so many times in a single day I really couldn't tell you the number though. I always make sure to say thank you on so many things...I say thank you to someone giving me change back, I say thank you for getting me something, I say thank you for whatever reason. But I say it all the time. Its odd that the country your in its not common.

manners and being polite to everyone was one of the things that my mother place a lot of importance on in our upbringing. you say please and thankyou...to everyone, doesnt matter if you are paying for a service or not, its just a polite thing to do. it shows respect for the other person. and appreciation of what they did.

I also say Thank You as a common to gesture to everyone that helps me in on way or the other. I feel that if we say thank you the person who has helped us would always be there to help us out if we are in trouble. Even though we are paying for the services i think that Thank You should be offer to the person concerned. it gives a good impression of our persona.
