Given the choice between:
a. The disgruntled, pissy checkout clerk forcing a fake smile and
mumbling insincerely: "Have a wonderful day sir.".
or
b. The disgruntled, pissy checkout clerk looking me in the eye and
saying: "Screw you, get out of my face".
I'd choose b.

When one is employed to try to please/serve the customers, one tries
not to get profound about anything controversial or personal.
I tried. I tried.
That's the normative way we the people function in these kinds of
ordinariness.
When the customer is an actual friend of the cashier can s(he) let
that "hava good day" cashier's phony super-ego down.
Ms & Mr Cashier particularly do not discuss politiks & religion.
But if thou must, at least try not to make offensive jokes, as you'll
lose that customer who differs.

That's like saying if you ordered a burger and fries, you'd
prefer to get only the burger. I paid for that "thank you sir"
goddammit, and I want it served up just like I want my
egg mcmuffin ...warm and fresh.
