Gwenivere Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 I find if I don’t say fine and they are listening they rarely know what to say. Art of me hates making them feel awkward but another part hates that social game. I also miss when I could actually meanit or say great! Now it’s hsnging in there as standard and they still sayyeah, I know what you mean but they don’t. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomPB Posted March 17, 2019 Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 Right, sometimes I play the game or just say nothing, sometimes I don't. I think Whole Foods cashiers are trained to say "how are you" since every one does. Annoying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Whole Foods cashiers are trained to say "how are you" since every one does. Annoying. In my feistier moments, i will answer, "Do you REALLY want to know or are you just being polite? I find it is a habit, just like a handshake or nod. There is usually no real meaning or intent behind it. - Shalom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayc Posted March 17, 2019 Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 It's become a politeness in our society, like hello or good day. I don't think they expect any answer except fine. Sometimes they don't even wait around for that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
