Newish chain in the South) and it's part of my job to do just this. I tend to use "how is everything" or "is [that sandwich/everything] alright" because sometimes a better question just doesn't come to mind. I work at a sub shop (Firehouse Subs.

Which doesn't actually bother me in the least. They're asking me about the entire experience. And usually, while they're asking, they're topping off my glass of water and my cup of coffee, or bringing me a new pot of tea (I eat a lot of Chinese food - mmm, oolong).

Mind, I find even that irritating. If it *wasn't* OK, I'd complain. Mostly in this country I’ve heard “is everything OK?” Mind, I find even that irritating. If it *wasn’t* OK, I’d complain.

At Taco Bell (in my town, I'm not sure if all of them are doing it), they now greet you at the drive thru with "Hi, how're you doing?" That's it. No "Can I take your order?" or "Thanks for choosing Taco Bell." Just "Hi, how're you doing?" or, occasionally "Hi, how's it going?", and then silence. I'd like to find the guy that came up with that idea and slap him silly. It's the most unprofessional, casual, irritating, 'I don't care about our customers' way to run a business that I've seen. If their value menu stuff wasn't so cheap for how filling it is, I wouldn't be going there anymore, just because that new greeting irritates me so much. Okay, I think I'm done ranting. I'll just go make myself a chupaqueso now. -Jake -- "Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity." - Hanlon's Razor I’ve found an even worse one.
