I have enjoyed these posts. One thing is people give my their seats ; it is nice. I always say thank you. No one says thank you anymore. Second thing is people include me. i always felt that there was competition is human relationships when I was younger, for boys, girls, the best of anything. That doesn't go on now. Third, I can say what I think. Yes, I guess I have become an old person who doesn't use a filter. Still I think my blood pressure is lower because of this.

Saying "Thank you" in a restaurant is important. It doesn't matter what the servers brought, more water, hot water, coffee, or the food you ordered. Saying that thank you gives them respect and acknowledges their existence and costs nothing but some time being polite and appreciative.
