[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate the forced interaction. I don’t find it necessary, and I don’t enjoy the forced putting on airs at the grocery checkout. I don’t want to discuss my plans for the day. I don’t want to discuss my weekend. I don’t care that you also like the Elote corn chips. If you want to know if it’s still “nice outside”, just look out the window that’s *right there*. Just ring me up. [/quote] So you want to stand eighteen inches from a fellow human being and look right through them or past them? That really says a lot about you. Making small talk is expected in US society and people who work in retail aren’t unclean or serfs. You realize you don’t have to answer the questions accurately - like what are you doing “oh not much, hanging out” even if you’re going to dinner in Paris. I also bet you’d complain if said cashier ignored you to chat on their phone while ringing you up.[/quote]
