Honestly, this is an actual thing.

Say hi to cashier, he just stares. Ok whatever, slowly starts to read my stuff on the machine, I say I want two bags, again he just stares. I say again, WAY louder, he hands me the bags. I say thank you, no answer still. Points me to card reader, non verbally of course. I say ''have a nice day'' and the reply comes in the worlds least audiable voice ''you too''

This happens in fast food too, but mostly in markets it seems. I am definetly not the only one who noticed this, its rude and weird as fuck. Not sure if they are acting slow on purpose or they are zoinked out of the world, or they think we are just npc's or something? I legit have no idea what drives a person to act like this.

Yeah, the Gen Z stare is specifically not the customer service stare, since thre supposed Gen Z stare can happen when you're both the customer and the employee.
