  I once got a waitress on autopilot. “Soup or salad?” “Salad, please.” “And how would you like that cooked?” “Uh… Raw?”

  I once did that one to the Boots employee at Heathrow Airport wishing me a nice trip 😄

  It was a good thing too: I was having a very challenging day and laughing at myself for that really brightened my mood 😁

  The trick I’ve found over years of people-Ing as the person working is to always end with a statement that can either be turned back with ”you too!” without being awkward, or warrants something other than an autopilot response.

  Thanks for stopping in, have a great night

  Enjoy your meal and if you need anything just let me/us know

  Don’t forget to tell your friends about us, and have a great day

  Etc.

  That way it’s totally fine for them to autopilot the pleasantries and they won’t feel cringey after.
