These couple years I've avoided saying such things as 'Thanks for choosing McDonald's' and 'Have a great day!' Because that's not how I feel. And I'm not going to lie. And I've always felt like I sound sarcastic/facetious when I say it.
Recently I've been trying variations of these things, in an effort to improve my social ability. Because, unfortunately these placeholders are essential to social interaction. You just have to find a way for you that doesn't sound forced. I'm not going to lie to them, but I am grateful they came, hence the 'thank you' I throw all over.
It's sad when the customer gets the 'have a good day' in and you don't.
I always respond with 'I will'. It's reflex. Just how I respond 'awful' when asked how I'm doing. When I should say 'You first' and 'GREAT HOW ARE YOU'
Yup. I'm getting better. Talking to strangers isn't so difficult.
