People not saying “thank you”?

laurenalexia: People not saying “thank you”?
some people i know don’t say thank you when i do things for them or give them things. these are not bad people but when they don’t say thank you or express their appreciation or gratitude, in some way or form, it doesn’t motivate me to do more stuff for them.
how do i make them aware of this issue without offending them?

If they negligent to say thank you, wait a moment and say…”you’re welcome” to them.
Make them think why you said that and they will realize what they didn’t say.

Answer by Catiger
You say “thank you” to them whenever the occasion arises. Maybe that will sink in.*

Answer by busterwasmycat
I say “You’re Welcome” in a most pointed manner and leave it at that. Oh, and no longer help them (individually) since they do not appreciate that help. Not much concerned about offending an inconsiderate person. they just offended me, after all.

U may follow what Caliger says. However, if u have to help them with something or any action, do it, without any expectations, including the thanks. Just do ur duty. By not expressing gratitude, they may not mean any disrespect to u.

Just repeat “thank you” to them whenever you do something for them..

Answer by Kayteeare
Is it possible these people do not want your help or the items you are giving them? Perhaps by not saying thank you, they are trying to send the message to leave them alone -?

Answer by Flora Post
I don’t think there is a way to do that without offending someone one other than to strike up a conversation about expressing gratitude and then say how it really bothers you when you give someone a gift or do a favor for them and they don’t even say thank you, or talk about how nice this other person is and how you appreciated it that they always make a point of saying thank you. I wouldn’t have the conversation right after someone neglected to say thank you.

I think saying “You’re welcome” when they don’t say thank you would make you look equally rude and petty as well.

But if you truly gave something out of your heart ? Do you really expect a thank you.
You should not!
Sometimes others have given me thing that I did not request nor ask for ? So do I have to say thank you. ^^

Some people are just embarrassed that is all .Nothing to do with ungrateful.

I’ve been known to say, “You are welcome.” What irritates me is when I go through a drive thru restaurant, and the workers shove the bag out the window, without so much as a thank you, while they are talking on their headset. There is no reason for this type of rudeness. If I worked at a grocery/ restaurant, you can bet I would be saying thank you. I never understood why people do not thank someone for a kindness, gift etc. I suppose it lies in their upbringing, they were not taught to do so. The times when I have said, ‘you are welcome,’ I have had some comebacks saying, ‘thank you.’ I think it is a good way to bring it to their attention while doing it tactfully rather than confront them on their lack of manners.

If you do it out of the goodness of your own heart, you don’t need a thank you. If you are doing it for the sake of “Getting” a “Thank you”, you are doing it for the wrong reasons. Some people are so caught up with their lives that they actually “Forget” to thank the person who has done something for them. Don’t take it seriously. There IS No Issue. The only motivation you need is to be helpful to others.
