    Ok I think people are not a bad person for not saying it but how does one even conceive that these words could be negative? Do the people who say this have some kind of superiority complex or are they trying to live out their dom fetish or something?

    I have never heard any worker from the service industry ever say they wanna hear less kind words. The fuck.

      Superiority complex. “Why should I thank the lesser people for just doing what they’re told?”

        yep, bingo. people who say this have a massive superiority complexes and basically judge people’s ‘worth’ as entirely their job title.

        they will basically only respect people who have high status jobs like doctor, and look down on everyone else. they also have a massively inflated sense of their own job’s importance when most of the time they are just some middle manager in an office.

        Cheapens the phrase if you use it all the time

        “Welcome to Costco. . .I love you.”

        “Welcome to Cotstco. . .I love you. . .”

        Yeah if you say the exact same phrase to the same people. But if you’re genuinely kind you adapt to the moment and then you stop sounding like a robot.

        And also this doesn’t apply to service workers who I will probably come across a handful of times only. And to them it’s probably more of an offset to the shitty experiences they had that day.

        TL;DR theoretically yes, practically no.

          I agree, just giving an example of why someone might not want to say thanks all the time. I save it for when they actually look at me
