A little one from tonight. SC walks up to the bar.

Me: Hi there. How are you?
SC: 25.
Me: 25?
SC: I am sat at TAAAAAABBBBLLLLEEEE 25!
Me: Riiiiiiight.

I'm sorry, but since when did the answer to "How are you?" become a table number?

[ShadedWings]

Heheh, I've been getting the opposite lately.

My habit is greeting with "Hello! Is this all for you? *points/gestures at purchases, usually only a few things*".

I get "Fine, thanks! You?"

[Apathy]

Yeah, that happened constantly.

Me: "Need any help?"
Idiot: "Fine."

or

Me: "Anything I can help you with?"
Moron: "Yeah, hi." *walks away*

Look, I don't like talking to you either, but maybe you could treat me like a person while we're both doing something we don't want to.

[calulu]

Heh, variations on a theme. I get..

Me: "And your name as it is listed on your credit card."
SC: "5555-2222-6666-4444 expiration date 02/12"

I used to interrupt and get annoyed, now I just do the damn number when they start spitting it out and ask the name questions later.

A little one from tonight. SC walks up to the bar.

Me: Hi there. How are you?
SC: 25.

The correct next line should be

You: ON scale from 1 to ?????

At the gas station, it always was:

Me: Hi there-
SC: PACKOMARBOREDSINABOX!

[Mister]

SC: I am sat at TAAAAAABBBBLLLLEEEE 25!

Just had an image in my head about how the idiot would pronounce those B's.

[Boozy]

I get that a lot. Some people really don't like to interact much, so they completely ignore your small talk and get right down to business.

Me: How are you doing today?
Them: Chardonnay.

Me: Terrible weather today, isn't it?
Them: When does this sale end?

And then, just when I decide to give up, the very next customer answers my business-related question with small talk.

Me: What can I help you find?
Them: I hate this weather, don't you?
