I hate it when girls say that. I'm a counter. I notice things that occur in patterns. 78% of check out girls at stores end the transaction with " have a good one. "

It bugs the shit out of me. It implies apathy, as in the girl is generally disinterested in whatever that " one " may be.
It's sounds unprofessional, as if they are unable to distinguish between afternoon or morning. It would sound better if they said, " have a nice day "

Could just be one more sign of the apocalypse.

at least you have to give them credit for saying something at all with a job as crappy as the checkout girl.

I don't like it, but because it sounds somewhat apathetic. You're getting paid to help me pay for my shit, I just want to buy my shit and leave, let's maintain a professional silence mmmkay?

"Have a nice day", or something to the effect goes a long way in places like customer service counter and such though.

Dude, at least they respond, or say something to you that is intelligible. Not just nod at you cause they don't understand english.

It pisses me off to no end when someone hands me a receipt without saying anything and while looking elsewhere.

It makes me want to do some serious fucking SPARTA-kicking.

Not sure if you've worked retail before, but saying anything other than "fuck off" to the thousands of fat slobs who come past every day takes an incredible amount of effort.

Another one is also "no problem" instead of "you're welcome". YW is more professional and sounds nicer, like you actually care and thought about the person giving thanks. NP is like "oh it wasn't too big an inconvenience to me so I guess I can help you."

Don't do it, ever, it leaves you with more hatred and malice than you ever thought you had.
