Two tidbits here:

#1 To Moses's point above about servers in restaurants; one of the best pieces of advice I've ever received is that "A person might treat you well, but if they act rudely or disrespectfully to the waiter/waitress they are trash." In my experience this has been accurate 100% of the time.

#2 I have a clear memory of visiting a local restaurant (fairly nice... not jacket and tie but definitely "dress up") when I was about 15 (about 1995). I pulled my mother's chair out for her and as soon as she had taken her seat a man stood up from a neighboring table and shook my hand and expressed the same sentiments as Aerkuld's dad: "You're a Gentlemen - not many of us left."
