I was brought up to always say please and thank you. I'm noticing these words are hardly ever used now. Do you think it's because people are so stressed out and always in such a hurry that politeness has lost its place in our lives? Do you blame it on bad parenting? Do you say these words?

Nah, some people are impolite by nature. There's always time to say please and thank you.
Do you blame it on bad parenting?
It can be. If the parent doesn't give the example, how are the kids gonna learn it?
Do you say these words?
I use them most of the time. Sometimes I forget.

I always say thank you, everyday when I get coffee, I say thank you to the cashier and they say, Have a nice day, and I say, You too.... I'm well-trained. I wasn't ever taught to but it was something that I kinda learned and felt was right to do, just out of friendliness.
