Richmond is one of the most polite cities in the U.S., per Uber Eats

Zoom in: Thus far this year, locals have said "please" around 43,000 times — and "thank you" 45,000 times in their online instructions, making us super polite, per Uber.

• Only four other cities in the country are as polite as we are, according to Uber: San Francisco, Detroit, Bakersfield, California and Charleston, South Carolina.

How it works: Richmonders simply drop the kindness into their online instructions, according to these real life local orders Uber shared with Axios.

• "With a lemon and lime on the side. Please make sure my order is fresh and hot, I'm pregnant, thank you please."
• "Make this one yummy too, please, And please have the box signed by Mrs. Cookienormous. I am a big fan of her work <3."
• "Nine boiled egg halves on the side (yes, nine. If you need to charge for them, that's OK). A container of chili flakes (the red flakes you keep on the table) on the side. No bean sprouts, as I am allergic please."

• "Good afternoon, it's your No. 1 customer. You know, please make sure that the wings are not dry and I could have six salt and vinegar and four mild hot. Thanks a lot."
• "Good afternoon I want to tell you that my last order was very good. I enjoyed it, and could you please make sure that the wings are not dry."

The bottom line: Richmond is awesome. And so thoughtful about it!
