They’ll ask me to do something, and then a few seconds later they add, “Please, thank you,” as if they realized that they have to say it.

Even just in the US this is very regionally different and not really something I associate with generational cultures. Like in Tenn/Bama/Georgia it is very expected but means nothing. In Southern California it is rare, but actually means something when said.
What does it mean that “please” and “thank you” mean nothing? I am genuinely confused.
