Nerds have very little social IQ. What they think is acceptable is something they would melt about if it actually occurred to them, but they dont understand cause/effect.

It's not like they're the business owner who is very grateful for all the business.

You do realize these 2 phrases are completely interchangeable, right? They relay the same meaning.

We should be thanking them for joining the workforce

World will be a nicer place once this mentality dies off. I look forward to a day when everything is touch screen kiosk and my items fall down an automated chute. Fragile snowflakes like you would melt in that world, missing out on your little ego boost.

What a perfectly accurate post from the POS who brags about firing employees who ask for a raise to market pay levels. and blames the employee of being greedy and not treating the business they work for as a family business and working for less than market rate.

Most people are social creatures. Nerds are not.

I usually say "no problem" or "absolutely" or "of course!" when someone thanks me for something. "You're welcome" has always come off smarmy to me. It's like you know you did something nice and they better be thanking you.

My local Kroger employs special needs people for a lot of these positions. They are STOKED to get to shoot the shite with people all day for near minimum wage.
That said, the butchers in the meat department seem to hate the world.

Meh, I don't really agree. Employees should be polite and have good customer service. But that has zero to do with saying thankyou every 2 minutes.

How not. Please explain the differences in detail, please.

Imagine going to checkout line with a cashier for the purpose of small talk as opposed to simply using the quicker self checkout. Imagine believing that needing attention and validation so bad from a complete stranger is normal and that quietly and confidently doing your own thing without a verbal pat on the back is "weird".
You're fricked up and don't even realize it because it's so ingrained in you.

They would have to pause the IG live feed they are watching to say it.

Of course I do, but I also don't care if some kid at the checkout counter doesn't.
Possibly in the future they will create an Alexa type device for your home, that complements needy old people for menial things. When you pull a fork out the draw you'll hear the Alexa unit say: "You did it. Good job. You're such a big boy." Maybe then you'll feel more fulfilled and better about yourself.

Thats never the case. Pleasant interactions using standard levels of social norms are being discussed.

One of my little things I liked to do when checking folks out at the pharmacy counter is “ thanks for stopping .. if you need anything , give me a call ok?”
Made the customer hopefully feel appreciated and that I would do everything in my power to assist them in tbe future

Funny/not funny this caused several melts.
I don’t see it as anything other than good manners, whether you are an $8/hr cashier or CEO level employee.
In fact, when McD window employee hands me my beverage, or a Home Depot cashier rings up my bedding plants, or my dentist’s receptionist checks me in, I smile and say "thank you" to them! It’s an easy, painless, social nicety
However, I was recently back in BR visiting family, and not only did I not receive niceties to being with, nor in return if I "went first", I got definitely surly service in several fast food transactions. Restaurants were different, service was friendly., and I am easy customer (no taking 10 minutes to decide, no freaking substitutions, no snapping fingers for a refill , and I tip well for real sit down restaurant service)
It’s a shame. I was raised with very good manners, my friends parents all loved me for that, employers appreciated it.
You can choose to be nice…both as customer and/or as employee. Too many people on both sides of the equation choose to be assholes "because they can."
Oh yeah, being nice does not mean being a doormat. If there is a problem, there is a way to handle things without hostility. It also usually solves things faster because you haven’t caused knee jerk defensive position.
And. there are exceptions to every rule.

It’s definitely weird to complete a transaction these days at a food or retail establishment where the worker hands you the merch and then just stands there like a stooge. Happens way too often.
