I work in a bakery, not quite retail, but in the same general category. I've always tried to be genuinely nice to customers who come in, and carry on real conversations with them. I enjoy the interaction, and it makes work that much more pleasant for me when a customer comes in and you know their name, and they know yours and you actually care about the other person. However, I have often had people give me an automated response when they're responding to me, or just not respond at all except to take their product and leave.
