"Yep ![]() ![]() Or you may make it worse because they want as little interaction with others as they possibly can. Everyone assumes that greeting is welcomed and wanted when in reality the main thing is just don't be a twat with your behaviour. | |||

"Yep ![]() ![]() I agree with a large extent with what is written above. It is not 'manners' to talk to staff. Manners are hugely subjective and on here and in life generally it is one of those words to cast shame on the behaviour of some and drag them into conformity. I'm a human being. I enjoy human exchange. If they seem as if they have the wish to converse I always chat. If they don't seem to be in the chat zone or are very busy and we don't 'click' in that second then we don't make small talk I wouldn't judge them either way. We navigate life and behaviours by the second there's no point in thinking everyone is you. To be honest..... in an 8 hour shift , how many times must they hear things like .........ohhhhh I only came in for bulbs...... or have a nice day ........ Or smile it might never happen. If you HAVE to talk it's for YOU not them, try to think of something original to say. | |||

"Yep ![]() ![]() Is it? Maybe for you. Otherwise it's an assumption that it's nice for them. Some people don't want to be there, they just want to get on with the shit they have to do. Imagine if every person said hello to them, one after the other.... all day... Everyday. Granny expanded on it very well as usual. | |||

"Yep ![]() ![]() I think greeting someone giving you a service. Whether they want it or not, is always polite It’s the bare minimum we offer a human. Recognition Unless they have a sign up saying don’t greet me, it’s the absolutely bare minimum to just acknowledge they exist | |||

"I work in a shop so I'm often on a checkout. I speak to everyone,hello, please,thank you. Some days that's all I want to do,I don't want to chat any further but when you say hello to the person and they look at you blankly and ignore you it's as if they don't see you as a person. I'm usually a good judge of if someone doesn't want to talk so I keep it bare minimum but I always try to chat to elderly people,even I don't feel like talking myself. A little compliment or something. You might be the only person to chat to them that day. I don't know if it's an Irish thing but it's more rare for someone to not speak to you than not. Em x" Damn it the end of that made no sense ![]() | |||

"Yep ![]() ![]() All of the above. For me, a smile, a hello, a thank you and a goodbye is plenty. But we're also reading you - the customer. We're gauging if you want to chat and how much you want from us. Some customers just want the bare minimum politeness, others are craving a little bit of human interaction | |||
