Do you say TY after receiving your food?

If you order fast food do you say TY? when I worked at fast food if they didnt say ty or show any graitude id feel like grabbing the cantelope beside me and throwing it at the back of their head.

lol my friend used to say " why should I say thank you im giving them my money " ohhhhhh rightttt! because the employee gets to keep that money and make a good profit and buy a lamborghini at the end of the month

Well, I don't order fast food. But if I did I would say "Thank you"

I usually say thank you.

Oh dear - are we in an age where we have to abbreviate 2 monosyllabic words to an acronym? What has become of us!!!!??? Or should I say WHBOU!!!!???

always

Simple ****ing courtesy. They agreed to give up x dollars because they wanted food, you agreed to serve them because you wanted y dollars.

In other words, EACH person is getting what they want from the sale. They wanted food, they got food. You want a job selling food, you just sold food as part of your job.

So...BOTH people should say "thank you". The customer should say thank you because you gave him the food that he wanted. Meanwhile, you should say thatnk you because he bought the food, thus helping you to continue to have a job.

I don't see why this has to be a freaking ****-measuring contest over who has the most power. Did the customer/employee both get what they wanted out of the transaction? If so, then common courtesy says that BOTH parties should say "thank you".

yea i meant if im being nice and i say ty when i give them their food and they treat me worse than dirt and dont reply and dont even acknoweledge me then id glady jump the counter and smash their face into the glass window,jk about the violence tho

Always. I am thanking them for taking my order and serving me my meal. I don't care if it's their job or they get paid for it, I am thanking them because I'm a polite person. I can't see a single reason why saying thank you would be wrong, being polite is always good.XilePrincess

Well, if they act like that, then they're just ****bags.

Not much you can do about that other than to STOP having a job dealing with ****bags. So your choices are basically...

1) Quit.

2) Get fired.

3) Act like a BETTER person than the ****bags who you are serving, and contiue to be nice to them while they treat you like ****.

4) Stoop down to their level, and then see how long it takes for #2 to happen.

Bottom line is that you are not in control of other people. They're gonna do what they want to do, period. You cannot control that. The only thing you can control is how you react to them. You can stoop down to their level, you can try to take the high ground and be better than them, or you can simply quit and avoid those interactions entirely. Those are basically your options. Decide which one is best, and then go with that.

Yes, yes I do.

I always thank out of politeness, but its not a requirement.

I have to agree with your friend that it is their job and they get paid for it (and thus shouldn't be owed a thank you), but I do it anyways because they're just people like me who work hard to give me what I want.

Yes I do, and when I leave I always say have a good day as well.

hell noweezyfb

depends,if the waiter looks like an a-hole who thinks he's doing me a big favor by bringing my food ,i'll skip the Thanking part.

I always say please and thankyou and hold doors open for women, or give up my seat on the bus etc.
