If I said it once, I've said it a million times... I don't like to be "greeted" when I enter a store and be coerced into getting into a conversation.

I feel like I get singled out by retail employees who think they are doing something epic by greeting me at the door the moment I walk in, smile at me, welcome me in, and want to chat with me. I am all for being social and being friendly, but I'm not going into a store for chit-chat. And I never know what to say so the whole encounter ends up becoming awkward. It's all so unnecessary.

Yes I know what you mean by it too and they are only trying to be friendly and make you smile and feel good about yourself too and small talk is fine too with the store greeter like saying hi how are you doing too or are you keeping very busy too simple things bc I know I used to be a cashier for grocery stores and gas convenient liquor store too so I know that too and I'm a friendly person too to make you feel better too and laugh too by smiling or saying something funny makes people laugh
