How do you connect with someone who has a hard shell?

My manager is the type of person to get to work, get the day over with, and go home. He hardly says a word at all, all day. Even when I joke with him, it's mostly just, "Yeah... ha... okay."

I've mostly just been leaving him alone when I can but is there any way to connect with him?

Managers have higher stress loads than regular employees. Thats probably why they just want to get things done and go home

@HannibalMontanimal Yeah true. I get along with the manager inside the store area and supposedly, he hates everyone. I'm just wondering if I can use that skill to connect with the one on the garage, too.
