I used to do that all the time. I worked at Business Depot as a computer consultant, and company policy was that we had to greet everyone who stepped into the department..
From the customer's point of view that means that if they wander the store they get greeted with pretty much the same greeting five or six times, and if they wander around enough, they get greeted by several reps in the same departments.. Angers alot of customers
From my point of view it meant that I was saying the same thing hundreds of times an hour.. I hated it, and it sounded fake to me really quickly..
