i thought i noticed it last week but didn't give it another thought but when he did it again yesterday it registered...i gave him my ticket as i went through the turnstyle and he said 'thankyou, enjoy the game sir'...an unexpected civility for a football match and and a nice touch, clearly a lad that will go far in the service industry...turnstyle 16 i think it is (its now a habit going to it so i dont look at the number - entrance for the upper west n block)...

Funny you should say that, he said the same thing to my little un when he handed him his ticket last week and again this. I thought I misheard last week but then he said it again yesterday. Thought it was really nice of him, a nice touch.
I know people from the club come on here so it would be good if they could feed some positive feedback to the fella, which I'm sure would make a nice change.
ha ha agree with that , it winds me up if anyone does that in front of me , it slows the whole process down !
Someone last week asked me how much my season ticket was.
Thats fantastic wot stand mate?
North upper really????????????? maybe they have their favs i never get b peep outta any stewards in North Upper
.......
That's the sort of service you get if you sit in the West Stand...
Cool never in Covered end would we get that service but then thats why we call you west stand tory boys hey :-)
.........
East stander me, I'm not establishment enough for the west stand.
Ha ha - what else did you want to be doing then? I would say that the average turnstile operator job description would say, "turn up early hang around, go to your turnstile". You'd have moaned if they'd also wanted you to sweep up after!
I wish there was more peopl like you suzi none of my mates ever say thank you to the turstyle guys but then i do after they have all been through i think they dont say thanks to me as they think i am with my mates who havnt said it so they are abit taken a back when i say thanks :-)
Why do you thank them for doing their (extremely easy) job? Do you thank a bouncer for letting you into a club? Do you go and thank the train driver for opening and closing the doors on the tube?
Its our crazy, mixed up world.
Why do most people on holiday tip some bloke for taking a top off a beer bottle, or carrying a drink on a tray (that someone else poured) two yards to your table, yet don't leave a tip for the women that cleans their toilet, makes their bed etc , picks up your rubbish for a week etc ?
Because you don't tip your own wife, it's her job!
because the people that do these "extremely easy" jobs provide a service that if they weren't there, we wouldn't be able to get in.
it costs nothing to say thank you. I do say thank you to a bouncer for letting me in to a club, why shouldn't i? if you're polite and courteous then they'll be polite and courteous back to you.
I hate being out for dinner with people who don't say thank you when a waitress takes away an empty bottle/glass/plate or when they serve their food. If i worked in a restaurant I'd prefer manners over a large tip as it would make working a pleasure if you were serving polite appreciative customers.
i was at chelsea v spurs in the executive bit a few weeks ago and was shocked at how unpolite most of the people in there were. the waiter appreciated our politeness as he served us all day and i made a point of saying thanks to him when we left for all his running around for us with food requests, drinks etc. didn't cost me anything, and there was no reason not to.
sometimes i think people are just mean.
Having just got back from the States I have to say the tipping thing did start to get in my nerves after a while. I always leave a few dollars per day for the maid and I'm quite happy to leave at least 10% for the waiter/waitress if the service has been good and, being the US, generally it is very good. I draw the flipping line though at paying $7 for a beer and being expected to chuck in another $1 to the barman for his thirty seconds work.
I'm one of those people who apologises even when someone else accidentally treads on their toes so I can't understand how so many people can go through life being so rude to others - to the point that someone feels the need to comment on what, in reality, is just really very good mannners in a service industry.
