i just ate at mcdonalds. the girl gave me my change back and i said 'thank you.' she looked nice enough, but didn't say 'youre welcome' or anything similiar.
i expect for this to be said. for people that are shy and won't say this, is it because you are embarassed when you are thanked, or just because you are too shy to respond? would you rather me not say anything at all? i dont mind not thanking shy people anymore.

She wanted you bad.
I'm only shy before I really get to warm up to people. I'll sometimes not say anything in a spot like this if I can't think of anything up-to-rilla-par to say or if I feel the timing is off.

so if you open a door for me, and i say 'thanks', are you to not say anything? would you rather me not thank you in the first place so you wouldnt even be put in that spot?

Are you sure it was because she was shy?
She could of just felt she was too busy to say that or thought she was too good to say it.

True.
And yes. It's not wrong to say thank you. But next time someone is too awe-struck to reply, lick your lips real sexy-like.
|

I don't know what they have to say
It makes no difference anyway.
Whatever it is...
I'm against it.

Okay. How about the latter or she just didn't feel like it?

Supersize me was something that helped me on my diet. It just helped me remotivate myself a few weeks in. Now when I see someone eating McDonalds or pulling into a Burger King I say "You're making a poor life decision." and I honestly believe it.
Fast food might not be bad for me. But I know it's not good for me and there are clearly better options. So I'm pretty glad I saw it.

Shy people can really come off wrong. I used to be shy, but then I turned into an asshole and now girls want my stuff.
Anyways, my roommate's girlfriend is really shy, and she can come off like a complete bitch. For example, me and my girlfriend will be sitting in the living room watching TV. The other girl, by herself, will unlock the front door and walk into the apartment, dig around in the fridge and walk to the back bedroom without once looking at us or even saying hi. Uhhh...what?? I've lived here for 2 years, you've dated my roommate for 3 months so you don't live here and you don't get to act like that.
She won't even say hi back unless you jump in front of her and say "HI!"
No, she's just a bitch. I hate her.
Oh, and also I work at a fast food place when I'm not in school or making double my work wage at the poker tables (I should quit that damn job). But trust me, customers are way worse than the people who work fast food. I've lost all respect for human life after seeing the constant stupidity and lack of self-respect the general public has.

i very rarely will have mcdonald's, but i stopped through a drive thru this afternoon. i kindly thanked the girl for my fast food, with no response whatsoever. bitch.
she wasn't shy, she was a bitch. have fun with your 5.50 an hour, ho.

gabe, i parked in the parking garage today and when I left i paid the guy who works in the little booth, and said thank you loud and clear, and he just turned back to reading his book. I thought about all this, and wondered why he didn't say you're welcome. as i drove off i yelled out my window you're welcome. next time i think i'll wait at the window just repeating thank you until he says you're welcome.

I hate when customers do the same thing. Ill say thanks, have a good day, and something else and they don't reply one time. I get really mad and I promise everyone here next time someone does that I'll start some serious shit. Thats why they put me in the back making food because I didn't get along with customers. My boss was cool though, he tried to give me a knife when three pussies tried to jump me there once.

Can I just have playmates with your children then?
Im just kidding! I'm not a bad apple, I didn't say that I knifed the guys, I just said that my boss offered me a butcher's knife when three guys started stuff with me. (By the way, they ended up calling their daddy to come talk to me instead of beating me up like they promised.)
The stuff with the customers, well, they are just bad people. When, on all you can eat taco nights they come back up to the front counter with cheese and sauce all over their mouths and the only thing they can say is a barely intelligible "tacos," it gets annoying repeatedly asking them "how many and what kind" and them repeatedly saying "tacos." This is after the 3rd trip for 6 refills from the same person.

i'd be more concerned if you didn't need the knife than if you did.

Common courtesy reigns, shy or otherwise.
I would consider it far more rude if a customer did not say 'thank you' than if the server did not say 'you're welcome'.
And they work at McDonalds.. cut them some slack.

A similar story Gabe. I'm not a shy guy but I avoid human contact a lot. For example, if I don't know you that well, I'll look down on the ground as I pass you to avoid having to make eye contact which could warrant an uncomfortable "hello." Also today I was walking down the library steps behind this guy that I talked to once, and I wasn't sure if he remembered me or not, so I lagged behind on purpose so he wouldn't have to hold to door open for me because I didn't really want to say "Thanks".
I'm just weird though
