Thank a service worker and mean it

Look a cashier, driver or cleaner in the eye and thank them warmly.

Why it helps

People in service jobs are often treated as invisible. A real thank-you can brighten a hard shift and keeps us respectful.

How to do it

1. Pick one interaction today.
2. Make eye contact and put your phone down.
3. Say thank you and add a short comment like 'Have a good day.'.

Make it easier

Say 'thanks' with a smile.

Make it harder

Learn their name and use it.
