Well even if she is a bitch it should not bother you. She is just breaking social protocal. Doesn't actually effect you guys.
If she does have a chip on her shoulder it's not because of you. She is probably dealing with some problems, worries or trauma. Can't expect her to actually get out there and talk about it do ya?
Or maybe making conversation is really hard for her so she tries very hard with new customers but then leaves the regulars alone. I used to have a very short social battery. I would be very active for the first hour of conversation then go DEAD. Would make people feel uncomfortable, they probably though it was them, that they were boring or something. But I just got exausted, had nothing to do with them.
So you say "HI" to her enthusiastically. Maybe you guys are too eager, she doesn't have the energy and worries about being bound into a long conversation.
There are ALLOT of variables and the chance this MC having something against you guys is probably 1 in 50. You guys might set this reaction off in her but even then it's not personal. The mind works in strange ways.
If she is an introvert (hate to use labels but it help at times) and you still wan't to engage her in some conversation do it in small bits. Get her used to the idea that if she responds she won't have to talk to you for hours. Try to avoid "fluff" talk. "How are you?", "Nice day" and BS like that. Keep things civil though, don't give her the cold shoulder, she is probably aware of her problem but feels trapped in her mindset.
Do you part but don't try to be a hero and save her from herself.
Stabs in the dark here, hope I hit something.
Cheers.
