They’ll ask me to do something, and then a few seconds later they add, “Please, thank you,” as if they realized that they have to say it.

    This question lacks social context. Are we talking about USA, Canada, UK, France, China, Japan, Morocco, Australia, South Africa?

    There are 7 billion people on earth with NUMEROUS cultures. To have a serious discussion we need to know the society in question.

      Boomer is primarily an american term referring to american generations. I suppose you could try and apply it to “western” countries, but it definitely doesnt apply to places like China and Japan.

      Your point still stands, but its not quite as lacking in context as you imply.
