- smsm42 10y agoI think I prefer the US way. I know many people smile just to be polite, but I just like looking at smiling people I guess.
- Swizec 10y agoI agree, it's definitely more pleasant. When my mum was visiting she commented that the pleasantness of customer service was really amazing. What impressed her most was that there are people whose sole job it is to welcome yoy into a store. But I have to admit that after the thousandth reflexive "How are you" without caring for a response, the novelty wears off. What if sometimes I'm not "Good, thanks, how are you?" ... but that would be impolite.
