Does it really take much to say thank you, to hold a door open so that it does not slam in someone's face, to generally be polite as you go through life?

I do not remember people being this ignorant and rude when I was growing up, have we changed so much!

WOW!!! You sound like me....especially the rude ones in the resturants. I feel so bad for the servers when they are spoken to with such disrespect!
