Good response for Not having a good day?

Just wondering, so I work as a cashier at a local gas station. So I notice after most customers I help and serve and get done with, most of them will leave and say “Hope you have a good one”? Or “Have a good rest of your day?” I appreciate the thought, I guess they’re just being nice. But what if it was completely opposite? What if they said it, and I’m really just having the worst experience and most terrible day of my life?

What would you respond with in that situation? Maybe say something like “Well, I started out pretty bad, but it can only go up from here???” Or just curious what your response would be if you were not having a good day?

 

In the UK its just really polite gesture of starting a conversation of somebody who you havn't previously met. Its used a lot in business meets as well.

Deep down your not really interested in if the other person is really having a good day but like I said, just a conversation starter .​

 

Your response should be:

"Well it can't be worse than that homeless guy living under the highway overpass, who spends hours each day sifting through my garbage bin out back for a few scraps of food"

 

life happens. the odds are against every living creature, and yet, inspite of this, good things do come along. the universe is not all one way, but infinite ways, some, possibly most, eventually turn out to be somewhat enjoyable. i know it was hard to believe when i was young, but sooner or later everything changes. sure not always for the good, but even a neutral change can be entertaining.

 

For most folk, these are simply polite rhetorical banalities. Anything other than an equally vapid variant of "thank you, may you as well" is generally considered a faux pas.
In the midst of "the worst experience and most terrible day of your life", I sincerely wish and hope for you to be surrounded not by indifferent strangers, but by true friends.

 

I usually just mumble something like... "I have other plans..."

 

I wasn’t saying I was going through anything serious or depression or having any issues? I don’t just mingle and hang around random strangers I’ve just only met? I do know who my real friends are that support me and watch my back?

I was just posting the topic to ask what would be a polite response to say to someone who wishes you have a good day if you’re a person who maybe doesn’t do well or has problems or doesn’t have good days usually?

 

“I’m sorry to hear that, things will get better”

Some people just need a little reassurance .
