Doesn’t sound like much, but a lot of folks I say that too change their attitude to me if it’s poor. They see I care about them enough to want them to be safe.
Also asking everyone at drive thru before I take my order. “How are you doin’ today?”
Bonus points when they reply and ask how I am.
I’ll say “I’m alive n kickin’.”
Which if they say “that’s good.” Or something I reply “that’s what they tell me, but I think they’re lying.”
I have gotten so many laughs out of it.
Folks just not excepting me to say it.
And just being nice to anyone. Giving em the goddamn time of day.
I tell folks, “Be safe.”

I used to know an old man who would respond to “how are you” with an enthusiastic “fantastic!” and then an apologetic “but I hope to get better.”
I have run into old guys like that. Dudes are usually chill. Love interaction like that.
