Uh-huh - rude service.

I used to think observing behavior changes in society was just me aging and all that.

One of my major pet peeves is rude customer service. Or people who work in a service area and cannot user professional language.

Case in point yesterday morning. We drove to an IHOP restaurant for breakfast, just south of Seattle.

We ordered our food. A couple sat nearby a server took their order. Their food arrived before ours did, but that's another issue.

Anyways our server was an middle-aged woman, and instead of saying 'You're welcome' to my thank you, she said the now-standard 'Uh-huh'.

Here's a piece of advice - 'Uh-huh' is not the response to 'Thank you.'. "You're welcome' is. Going forward I think I'm going to start posting a zero tip when I hear people utter that term in restaurants.
