"HI SIR, WELCOME TO WALGREENS" with a 10-deep line waiting at the register.....
The employees hate saying it and the customers hate hearing it and being put on the spot.
Why do these exist? Discuss.

Sounds like you frequent the Walgreens at Highland/Airline.

In retail, it's because they want whoever walked in to be greeted as quickly as possible. When I worked at best buy we had to do a lot of trainins, and one of them stated that customers not greeted in the first 15-30 seconds they walked in were 50 percent less likely to buy anything. It's also for shoplifters, so that they feel like they'really being watched

I hate calling places that have the script to answer the phone like just for example
"We are having a great day here at Macy's, how may I help you?"
Bitch, you aint having a great day. I'm sorry your company makes you say that shite.
ETA: I do love the "My Pleasure" at Chik-Fil-A though.

Because the people that don't care are irrelevant and the people that do care like the "neighborhood, local" feel of a personal greeting.
Same situation if you walk into a bank lobby. The greeting isn't designed to please the people that don't give a shite - I've never heard someone stop shopping at Walgreens because they were greeted every time they walked into the store.

This is almost every Walgreens or CVS that I go to unfortunately. The size of their store and locations lend itself to convenience.....but that's really not the case once you get inside.

I find it hilarious to watch the employee reluctantly deliver the script and also the recipient uncomfortably reacting.

All fair criticisms, but no one is going to stop going because they're being greeted every time they walk in the store.
Lately they've been thanking me by name after I enter my customer care card and that is a bit creepy as well, particularly when they use my first name only. However, I'm not going to change corner stores because I'm only in a Walgreens or CVS out of convenience anyway.
