I hit the same grocery store several times a week. All the people that work there are super nice. When I check out the cashiers always ask the same thing " Hi, how are you " and I'm sure all day long they get the same response. " Fine thanks "
I always try to answer them with something different just to brighten their day and break the monotony. Sorta like Norm when he walked into CHEERS. It could be something simple like " I'm hungry " said in a funny way or one particular windy day I said " I'm sure glad to be inside cause it's blowin harder than Hillary out on the campaign trail ". Once a checkout girl asked me if I wanted " paper or plastic " when she told me my total I held up some cash and my credit card and asked her " paper or plastic " A witty answer comes easy to me and it's nice to put a smile on someone's face
I am considerate to others in line and know the goal is to keep the line moving as fast as possible so if the cashier tries to turn it into a conversation I keep it moving. I'll even bag my groceries and am always ready to pay as soon as the total come up.
My biggest pet peeve is when women sit there and just watch all their groceries get checked out and then get the total and THEN start digging in their purse for whatever they are going to pay with. When they finally pay they stand there and waste more time putting all their stuff back in the purse. I find that really annoying
