I badly need a cleaning. I knew I'd have to wait. The scheduler at my dentist's office apologized to me (!) because my appointment won't be for another two weeks. I assured her this was fine, it was my own fault that I'd have to wait so long for not previously scheduling, and I'll do my best to be extra-nice when I see them again.
Another thing: We say "please" and "thank you" to retail clerks, etcetera. Can I TELL you how many times we've been told that we are the only people who've said that "please" and "thank you" for the entire day to someone else?
Does it cost now to be courteous? You'd think so, judging by the behavior we see on a daily basis.
