why do cashiers always ask how your day is going when they clearly don't cr about teh answer

why do you always feel the need to point out someone's obvious lack of sincerity when they're just trying to be

are you kidding me? my aunt is a cashier and she actually cares abt people's days it's not that deep

omg right?? and dont even get me started on when they ask if u found everything ok and then proceed to just stand there

yeah, it's a sad day when you can't even get a bad day off an armed robbery

lmao they're just trying to distract you from the fact that they're gonna ask you to swipe your rewards card next

ikr! they just say that cuz they're supposed to. Not cuz they actually give a shit.

cashiers are just being polite. No need to be a dick about it. it's part of their job to make small talk.

yeah it's annoying but do you think maybe they're trying to make small talk to make the transaction less awkward?

right, like they're gonna put down the chipotle chicken bowl and be all 'oh no what's wrong with your day

idk, maybe they're just asking for a tragedy to kick off their day
