re: #351 A Mom Anon

My son does this,I love him for it. He says hi, asks them how their day is going and when we leave the store he says the person’s name and tells them to have a good day. He also does this with waitstaff in restaurants. I never taught him to do it, he just does. Such a sweet soul that boy has. I do it, but not as consciously as the kiddo does. I think it does matter to the worker bees out there, I know it made my day when I worked retail.

I am by nature a surly person but I think these store greeters are treated like shit by everyone and you should acknowledge them and be nice to them. Also, it must be very painful for this elderly man to stand on his feet for hours on end. He probably has no health insurance from the store.
