Don't stop. I'm never polite to minimum wage employees, and I never tip. Why should I? Get a better job, losers.

I personally like it when they just take my order and give me the food and keep communication to only what's needed to complete the transaction. I don't want them to grovel and praise me. I just want to exchange money for food in the most efficient way. If skipping "thank you" shaves two seconds off my order time I'm happy! ?

Thank you for your kind and gracious ordering of fast food from this fine establishment; I, an underpaid burger minion, am not worthy of the excellency of your presence, let me prostrate myself before you... I am in great awe of your amazing fast food order and do not deserve the amazing privilege of handing you this bag, master!

I was raised to always say please and thank you...as well as excuse me...at appropriate times..
That being said...It's my position that employees dealing with customers should always be courteous and appreciative towards customers...its just the right way to behave..

A pleasant greeting and some sort of comment showing appreciation that the customer utilized the services of the business is sufficient..(thank you...please come again...etc)
If you are rude without intense provocation...or project that you could care less whether the customer is there or not...you should be dealt with..

There’s a crossroad in deciding our actions. The fighter pilot John Boyd called this a fork in the road of deciding “to be or to do.” If we decide “to be,” we may get showered with adoration. If we decide “to do,” we’ll opt away from this to choose what’s right — for ourselves, our families, our communities, and others.
The world doesn’t always recognize effort. And it’s less likely to recognize the effort that isn’t glamorous. Most of the importance that comprises our lives is this less glamorous effort. It’s the listening ear for a friend in need. Helping a colleague when it isn’t in your job description. Smiling at strangers. Sharing a few quarters with the man holding up the sign near the traffic lights. Putting your life and family in order.
And even if the world recognizes our efforts, it’s only temporary. No fame or status is permanent. All is equally fleeting. But what do we do when we realize the world doesn’t recognize our effort? Does it make us bitter and resentful? Do we give up? Do we stop going the extra mile for others? Do we put all our energy in an attempt “to be?”
If we chase recognition, what part of the bigger picture are we missing? What are we not seeing about our environment and the world around us if we’re so focused on ourselves? And how do we avoid the trap when most of the popular products on our phones, computers, and in the world encourage us to do just that?
I sure know that my brain doesn’t do me any favors when it comes to denying the recognition that I want. It usually gets in the way of a better good, and tends instead to focus solely on myself. The answer to this problem always lies outside of ourselves. As C.S. Lewis said, “To what will you look for help if you will not look to that which is stronger than yourself.”

It's nice when they are polite, but I don't think I ever notice too much as long everything goes normally. Usually I'm just happy there is someone there willing to put up with customers coming in all day long. I try not to be a shitty customer more than I worry about the person behind the counter remembering all the social niceties for my benefit.

It is really shitty of me. I am often so stressed out and grumpy when I go through a fast food drive through (like at 8pm after dealing with clients at the jail) that I think that contributes. I will try to be better.

I like it when the guy and the drive through whips the bag at you and says "here's your food fucko"

Fuck off dumbass @OP
Remember that they are people too and they hate their jobs and position in life more than you do. Always be kind to strangers!
