That question always makes me cringe. The checkers at the store inevitably ask about our weekend plans. The trip to get groceries is usually the big excitement 🥹

I was at Harris Teeter yesterday and (IF you can find a checkout person now a days) the question is always "Did you have a good weekend?", etc.

I know they really don't give a fig, but are just trying to find something to say to pass the time while the soup cans are rolling down to the bag person.

A friend once told me that when people ask you that, most of the time, they actually want to brag about the exciting thing THEY did over the weekend - 

[GingerHead]

Ugh, I hate when checkers ask that too! That or do you have any fun plans for the day/weekend?

Trader Joes and Starbucks are the worse offenders!

How did you get my picture????  

And yes --- I feel that people are do disappointed when they are asking me what I did interesting and/or exciting over the weekend!  I mean --- as written in the picture -- this is me, this is my life!  What can I say?

Maybe it's part of the customer service standard when they were trained to be courteous and kind to the customers. Years ago it was acceptable and a nice gesture so why doesn't it stand for the same thing today?  I think it's nice that the younger generation is using some old-school personality standards.
