Disappearing courtesy?

I have often thought it was a new generation that has decided that they don’t have to show common courtesy. You hear it all the time. Young folks are rude and selfish, etc. But recently it turns out that I was mistaken. Even tonight, a manager at a restaurant who had taken some trash out was coming back in. I held the door for him. Did he say thank you? Nope. In fact, he seemed annoyed.

And that was after one of his workers inside was quite rude, as well. I guess it is a good thing I had a good today. Oh, and the food was tasty. 🙂 But back to my point… I have never felt it a burden to say thank you. In fact, it usually makes me feel good to return a little courtesy. Just saying.
