As a customer, I ask mostly because I want to be polite; it’s also a habit ingrained in me since I was a kid, so it’s totally fair of you to feel that way. But, look, if you’re having a bad day, tell me, and I’ll be sure to adjust myself accordingly and respectfully. The last thing I want to do is be all bubbly/excited/goofy when your mood is not there.
Usually I’m willing to share more when I can tell a customer is engaging with me earnestly, and believe me when I say that I do strongly appreciate it. Feels like a pressure release, especially on busier days or when I’m on my own at the counter.
