  • This is a highly cultural thing. Where I live, cashier (great example) are told by the manager to not speak with the customer. The interaction is just “Hi!”, the price, “Thanks! Bye!”.

    It’s just respect and politeness. I don’t practice small talks at all. People don’t care about it. It’s not their business.

    To illustrate, how it is here. People don’t make friends outside secondary school or universities depending on the degree they have. I know people who still have the same friends for 50 years. People are not open.

    Now, I guess you’re from the US what makes it a bit more difficult, I like going there during off hours like early in the morning at the beginning of the week. (disclaimer: Where I live, Sunday is a rest day and shops are closed. We don’t have 24/7.) Otherwise, I order online.
