I’m sorry, but this whole “alpha” verses “beta” idea is just stupid. Err, I mean thank you for sharing this stupid idea with us.

Don't say "sorry I'm late." Say "thank you for waiting." Don't apologize for giving the waitress a confusing order. Thank her for handling a challenging order. Even if you make a mistake at work, "thank you for double checking my work" can replace "oh, I'm so sorry for screwing up."

"Sorry" sends the message to others, and more importantly to YOURSELF that you aren't worth the inconvenience you've caused. Show your appreciation without putting yourself down by saying "thank you" instead.

Nobody here bright enough to grasp the irony of metoprolol being a beta blocker. Well played.

Anyone that gives tips being an Alpha is definitely not Alpha.
