How to interact with service people?

What are the politics of interacting with service people? I always feel such pangs of guilt, and I don't know what to do.



Please help. I've been questioning this my whole life.How to interact with service people?
With respect. You don't have to become bestfriends with them, but a simple ';hi'; and ';bye'; wouldn't be wrongHow to interact with service people?
Treat people as you would like to be treated,but really need more details.
What type of service people are you talking about? If service people like waiters and waitresses treat them like human beings. Be grateful for their services.



If you are talking about the military then treat them like human beings and respect. Treat them as a normal person but be mindful that they've had some experiences that they may not talk about about. If this is the case the more you can make them at home the better.
Be polite, look them in their eyes, and smile. Most of people respond well do it. If the feeling hits you, state the obvious - boy is it hot, will this rain end, I thought they (the person in fron of you in line) were never going to make up their mind.



Please and thank you go a long way, too.
