Isn't this just part of living in overcrowded cities? I have lived in several small villages and everyone greets one another in passing, neighbours get familiar, strangers you see around make an effort to get to know the person they keep seeing. In the city I might walk past the same person every day on the way to work for 4 years but a smile and eye contact would be received as enthusiastically as a leaflet from a Mormon.

Or rather, you would get to know the people that work there if the corporation that owned the franchise paid/cared enough to retain people. It's the same story everywhere—regardless of whether or not you live in a big city or a small town: It's "jobs", not people.
