[quote=Anonymous]No, my mother did not teach me to do it. Would it have been easier if she had? Absolutely! 1. I didn't have much contact with my father's side of the family while young. As a teen and adult among family who are Southerners who expect it and veterans who expect it, yes, being in the habit initially would have been helpful. 2. Employers value courtesy. Customers value courtesy. An extra Ma'am or Sir that is forced makes people uncomfortable, but Ma'am or Sir that feels natural makes everything smoother. 3. Dealing with customer service people is much smoother when you are polite. Throw in a Ma'am or Sir and watch them unbend and actually try to help you.[/quote]
