As already mentioned above, I think that this is true for more formal situations, such as an interview. By no means I would like to encourage a stilted conversation :). I thought it won't harm to note that he could improve his politeness, just in case he didn't know.

Let alone among friends or colleagues - which is where you'll be asking this question probably. Sorry, but that's just poor advice -1
