In South Africa we will often say "hello" and "how are you?" before ordering, no exaggeration.

- runawaybottle 6y agoWho’s got time for all of that?
- gambiting 6y agoSounds like UK - I've heard people use "you're alright mate?" Before just proceeding with the order as normal
- michaelcampbell 6y agoI see/hear that a bit in some British panel shows that I enjoy; the host and sidekick will start with "You alright?" as a general intro phrase.
- test1235 6y agoI like to think of it as the English version of the French 'ca va'. "Alright?" "Alright."
- smogcutter 6y agoTo be fair, the NYC version of that is “how ya doin’?”. You don’t wait for an answer though.
