Have a good one, chief.
The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

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.
I say "have a good one" quite often when i'm farewelling customers. I work for a large grocery store, on the checkout, and deal with 150-200 customers a day. Excuse me for the disinterest in you, because as soon as you walk out the door, I forgot about you and i'm already half way through the next customers groceries. That being said, I do rotate friendly welcoming and farewelling statements as well, such as "have a nice day", "enjoy your evening", etc etc. I'm also male, so by what you said, I couldn't bug you anyway.

In Australia, anyone who works behind a till will always ask you "How's it going".

They say it to everyone, so I usually reply with "Don't you get bored of asking that question?" promptly followed by me asking them to "not worry about the receipt." They just look at you and ignore the question, demanding money and giving you change in 10 cents pieces.

Last time I checked, while being nice to customers was up there in importance, the big thing to get done was getting you the fuck out of my store as fast as I could.  I would deal with 50-100 customers on a regular basis (unless it was Sunday, then it was twice as much).  It's not like the cashiers are jumping up and down pointing at who they want to check out next.  We just try to get you checked out as quick as possible so that the long line at our own registers may dissipate into nothing.  Thats how I went about anyway. 

P.S.  I always said have a nice day

This man speaks the truth.

I deal with 100-200 people a day where I work and many of them are lotto customers(the worst). Nothing bugs me more then people just standing in the store holding up the line and makeing the place overcrowded.

I either go through the self-checkout line or don't bother to hear what the cashier tells me at the end of the transaction.

I used to work in a petrol station and always greeted customers with the standard  "How are you today?". One bloke always replied "I'm terrible, but thanks for asking." I liked it for something different.

Ah, so you're one of those.

I say "have a good one" at least 5 times a day and when I was working at blockbuster I used to say it all the time. I'm an aussie remember, so I use all the slang, "hows it goin'." "cya lata" etc. But I guess, when it comes to girls, i'd prefer if they used proper english.

I work in an environment more focused around customer service, and nearing the end of my shift even I lapse into repeating the same farewell phrase over and over for the last 50 customers.

Anyone who works in retail knows it's really taxing to be personal to each individual customer. It's much easier to get your job done if you keep one farewell phrase, in my case "Excellent, thanks have a nice evening" and just repeat it to infinitum. I guess I must say it about 200 times a shift, and no it doesn't get boring because you just kinda switch off when you're saying it.
