Most times I get a nice "thanks" or a nice smile. I do it because it's good manners and I do it for both men and women.
On the other hand, I have run into the "uppity-ass" a couple of times.
I was standing outside waiting for a ride when this jerk-ass comes over in his business suit holding a briefcase and yakking on a cell phone. He gave me a dirty look like he expected me to open the door for him. I gave him a level stare and told him it would probably be easier to open the door if he used his briefcase to hold his phone instead of his hand.
I'm all for common courtesy, but don't expect it or you'll be sorely disappointed.
