The cashier's genuine interest in my day reminded me why we bother with small talk in business.

Her asking about my weekend showed how personal touch turns customers into regulars.

Wait, a cashier showing genuine interest? That feels rare these days. Phoenix_flores has a point about how it usually just makes things more awkward.

Yeah, it's a total coin toss. Sometimes it feels nice, other times you can tell they're just reading a script and it gets weird. Really depends on the person and the day.

My attempts at small talk usually just make the whole checkout process last longer and more awkward for everyone.
