I'm fortunate. A few decades ago, this was a common question people asked each other when being introduced. But in my part of the US, it's become exceedingly rare. I would never ask such a question of someone unless it was somehow pertinent to the conversation or I already had established some sort of relationship with them, and I'm very pleased that I rarely get asked it anymore.
