meh, it's just surface level talk with no substance. the person who asks me how my day is usually doesn't give a rats ass about how I'm feeling, and I don't care either. maybe it's just my cynical retail soul but after the first hundred times I'm asked that question I just don't like hearing it
There's an easy solution for that. Genuinely tell them how your day is going and include details. The people who wanna know will get a kick out of your candor and the others will know better than to ever fucking ask you again.
Found the German.
Pro tip: never ask a German "how's it going?" They don't see that sentence as a greeting, it is a legitimate question that they will answer in excruciating detail.
I'm actually the descendent of Polish Jews. But with the friendliness of a German!
Huh... That can't possibly be what I meant to say...
Also, I reject your pro-tip! If I ask someone how they're doing or how it's going, I'm genuinely hoping for an open and honest answer.
