It's very hard to make anyone acknowledge you or say thank you.

One of the managers I worked for in my previous company was caught on one day doing just that, or not as the case was.  

I had completed a task for him, can't remember what, and another manager witnessed me confirming details and/or handing over paperwork whilst he was at my desk.  My manager walked away without saying thank you and the other manager who witnessed this said to me when he had gone, does he never say thank you?  My reply was honest, no, he doesn't.

Neither the manager who witnessed this nor the other PA who I worked alongside could believe what they saw.

I would find it almost impossible not to say thank you to someone in my every day working life, and don't think anyone deserves that kind of treatment.  However it could be the person you are talking about isn't aware of it.

If people don't have manners I'm certainly not about to tell them or point it out.
