Politeness #10


Situation
The meal was delicious but the restaurant is packed and there are people waiting to be seated near the entrance/exit area. As I walk towards the door to leave, the person waiting next to it makes way for me to pass while opening the door.

(Expected) Dialogue
me: thank you.
him: you're welcome.

(Southern) Dialogue
me: thank you.
him: yes ma'am!
