There are a few things I don't say to people in the morning, mainly because I can't stand the typical response everyone gives.
The first? "Good Morning"
No, I will not add the 'Good' to the 'Morning' because I will typically get a response like this:
Me: Good Morning Sir (or Ma'am).
Customer: What's so good about it?
Since just about every crabby person in the morning says this, I have decided to eliminate the 'Good' from my greeting.
However, I still get the same response but this time I can respond back.
Me: Morning.
Customer: What's so good about it?
Me: I didn't say GOOD morning.
Customer: Oh.
Yes, I always get an 'Oh' from the customers. Sometimes they will smile sheepishly and other times they will ignore me. But it makes me feel a little better that I called them out on it.
Another greeting I won't use: 'Hi.'
Why? Because this will get me a response of 'I wish I was. (hardy har har)'
Yes, these people wish they were high. This annoys the hell out of me because I hear this several times a day, and each time a person says it, they think they are the original genius that came up with it.
NO, YOU ARE NOT THE FIRST PERSON TO RESPOND THAT YOU WISH YOU WERE HIGH. YOU ARE ABOUT THE TENTH PERSON THAT HOUR TO SAY THAT TO ME.
Sometimes I wish a cop were around just so they could hear them say that. I doubt there was anything they could do, but still. Actually, I wish there was a cop around for many things people do.
Maybe one day in cashier heaven I will get my wish.

Yeah, there's never a cop around when you need one. Maybe you need a bigger doughnut selection?

I hate when asking a customer if they would like a bag and they say, "No, I've already got one at home (har har har)." I swear I hear it 10 times a day and they always think they're so original.
