Do you say someone's name when you greet them or say goodbye?

If I know it, I usually do.

I usually don't

i usually do if i know their name.

some people just assume you don't know their name if you don't use it when you greet them

I hardly ever say someone's name unless I'm mentioning them to someone else.

This ^^^^^

I try to.

PRetty good about it when greeting people.

I always get their name wrong on purpose. Nothing I don't care more than getting their name wrong.

That's some business sales BS they teach when you use peoples name to both show them that they are important (Look! I know who you are.) and to make them feel a "connection" to you.

That stuff is true and does work BUT some idiots way overuse it and continually say the other parties name in lieu of pronouns. "Well Bill, knowing that our widget is vitally important to the success of your business I think it needs to be bought. Don't you Bill? I mean, Bill, after all you want to be successful. Right Bill?"

I literally tune people out when they pull that crap on me.

When people get a little too chummy with me I like to call them by the wrong name to let them know I don't really care about them.
