Went to the movie theater Saturday night (a whole other thread) ans was not terribly suprised when the popcorn guy didn't even make eye contact the whole transaction. When did that not become the first thing you should do? Of course I recieved no greeting, but I pretty much expected that.
When he finished with the person ahead of me, I stepped up and attempted to make eye contact. It's hard with the hat pulled down, tilted and his effortless ability not to. Instead of greeting me (it was very busy) he started a mind numbing short conversation with the employee next to him.
Then I had to use my powers of mind reading to tell he was ready for me. So I said "Hello", no response. So I ordered, no response. He did however proceed to prepare our food and drink.
The only real communication from him to me were two words when he put down the corresponding drinks: "coke", then "diet" a minute later.
