Family: "How are you doing?" ...5 minutes later.... OP: "Good?"

It's so second nature for cashiers though. Like when someone walks away from me in real life I occasionally say "thanks, have a good day" on accident and they look at me like a freak.

Not so weird. I've heard it, and I use I'm here. Customers ask how are you, but most don't care.

Sweden: 1: Hi 2:Hi 1: That will be ..... kronor 2: Thanks (thx for letting me buy stuff??) 1: Thank you!

Guess Fml aren't big on the enter button after posting..

Not that strange. I've given that answer some days bc really- customers don't care about your day. they just feel they should ask you since you ask them. if you reply honestly that your day has been complete crap they just look at you like you just kicked their cat or something. And unfortunately some of us actually HAVE to ask how the customer is doing bc it shows 'personal interest in them as a customer.'

Bleh :P we have to ask people to or we can get fired due to "secret shoppers". Have to talk to everyone within 5 feet.
