From a non-American raised customer's point of view, I have had a hard time getting used to the "how are you doing?" question. I feel weird saying "fine, thanks" when my day's been shit so far. If they don't really want to know, why ask? Guess it's just one of these weird social quirks of our society...
I feel most comfortable when the cashier doesn't speak at all. Run the item through the register, I'll wipe my card in the reader, punch in my code, you hand over the receipt, and I'll be on my merry way.
