Are the above sentences grammatically correct?

 

[tedmc]

A verb after the infinitive "to" is missing.
Or you can omit the "to".

 

[5jj]

one-way ticket

That's single in BrE.

I'd like to a round-trip ticket, please.

That's return in BrE.

 

[PeterCW]

That conversation does assume that there is only one possible destination. In practice a request to purchase a ticket is abbreviated.

If I presented myself at a ticket office I would say something like this.

"(Good) morning, return to X please".

 

[Tarheel]

I would say:

I'd like a one-way ticket

Or:

I'd like a round trip ticket.

(American English)

(I wouldn't say "please". Does that make me rude?)

Most tickets for light rail are bought at a machine. At the service counter I might say, "I need to buy a weekly pass."

(I wouldn't say "please". Does that make me rude?)

In the UK it would.

 

[sitifan]

Most of tickets for light rail are bought at a machine. At the service counter I might say, "I need to buy a weekly pass."

Can I say "most of the tickets for light rail"?

Tone is as important as words.

Maybe I'll ask somebody if they think that when I go to Dunkin or Shomars or IHOP that I need to say "please".

Nobody ever seems to think I'm rude. Hm.

 

[Rover_KE]

How do you know what they're thinking?

As someone working in the service industry (retail), I can assure you that, whether we express it or not, we generally find it pretty rude when customers don't say "Please" and "Thank you".

Well, I'll ask them if they think I've been rude to them for several years.

I agree, Tarheel.
Facial expressions are important, too.

 

[Tarheel]

Well, I called Dunkin, but nobody answered the phone. I guess I'll try again.

 

[Tarheel]

I called again. The person I talked to said it would be nice if I would do that, but it's not rude not to.

Maybe I will do an informal survey of how often people say "Please" and "Thank you" at restaurants. Maybe I should include other retail establishments in that survey.

 

[tzfujimino]

Well, I called Dunkin, but nobody answered the phone. I guess I'll try again.

They might have been busy taking orders from cops.
(I don't think you'll need to call Dunkin'.)

 

[Tarheel]

They have a $6 meal deal. (I forget what it's called. (I'm good at forgetting things.))

 

[Tarheel]

They might have been busy taking orders from cops.
(I don't think you'll need to call Dunkin'.)

I tried again. I talked to someone who was quite helpful.
