Visitors usually find most Americans, for all their informality, very polite. This reputation seems to rest largely on the great number of "Please" and "Thank you" we deliver, but also on the general recognition given to strangers. One should be considerate of waiters, garage attendants, and household help as well as of doctors and senators. Americans are shocked to see the peremptory manner in which servants are treated in other countries.
"The way you Americans say ’Thank you’ and ’You’re welcome’ all the time is hypocritical," objected one foreigner, "You don’t really mean it." It’s true that we don’t mean much by it, but it’s an acknowledgement that we don’t expect people to do things for us. Even when a service is not optional such as when receiving change in a store, a person who doesn’t give thanks appears rude to an American.
"You’re welcome" troubles some newcomers with its suggestion that one has actually done something worthy of thanks. You can always say, "Oh, it was nothing," but if it really was nothing, it’s best to stick with "You’re welcome".
Of course, whether you consider Americans polite depends on where you come from. Some Japanese find Americans so rude that they think they are being discriminated against when Americans are only acting normally. Politeness also depends on where you are. New Yorkers have a far-reaching reputation for rudeness, although they can also be surprisingly helpful.
Out in public, manners vary a great deal. A lot of attention has been given lately to a rising lack of public civility, particularly among drivers. And foreigners are often appalled at the behavior of children, who commonly are disruptive in public and feel free to speak to their parents in a manner unheard of in many cultures. Surprisingly though many of these same children grow up to behave quite decently.
New comers to America are advised to ______ "You’re welcome" as a response to "Thank you".
