I've gotten to the point where I don't expect a thanks for the favors or simple things that I do. I'll always be a person who offers a thanks, I've been raised that way and there is no changing that. I'll always open the door for someone, shovel the snow from my senior neighbors drive and help the needy person on the street as I can. Don't get me wrong, I'm no saint and the fact that one business seems to appreciate my business more than another will likely earn my repeat business. I've found that forgetting about the expectation is easiest that way when thanks don't come, I'm not disappointed. If someone happens to thank me I'm pleasantly surprised. It's just one of those things I can't waste time worrying about.
