narky shop assistants

[bobtheduck-]

at a petrol station today i handed my phone card over to be swiped and i omitted to use the word "please" as i was distracted by the sight of the 50 stone woman next to me reaching over to buy 8 bars of chocolate (she will then complain later on in the day about being overweight) the sanctimonious shop assistant said "say please" in the most patronising voice you can imagine i then said "you are not paid to give me elocution lessons dear you are paid to stand there and give me my change" i then left , i have noticed people of this ilk becoming more and more patronising and mouthy have you had any experiences?

i have a habit of saying "please" to every question when "yes" would do - such as "would you like a bag" - i reply "please", rather than "yes" or "yes please".

i also usually say "bye" to the person too, which often gets a nice "bye" back, but sometimes they do seem surprised.

sometimes i get distracted by other people or the phone or something, which is easily done and just part of life, but generally i think i seem to have please and thank you verbal diarrhoea sometimes...lol
