“Thanks for asking”
Posted on 5/16/19 at 7:49 am

Store clerk: “How are you today?”
Me: “Great, how are you?”
Clerk: “ I’m well, thanks for asking.”
“Thanks for asking” seems odd, does it not?

Whole conversation seems fabricated and fake. I hate when people feel the need to talk for the sake of talking.

A lot of people go thru life never being asked how they are doing. Probably just brightened that young lady's day with something simple

It was a young lady, but isn’t it sexist to have assumed it was a young lady?

She’s glad someone noticed her this morning.

"I'm well" is weirder to me. Don't care if it's the correct grammar, you dork

Sorry we don’t all enjoy the slack jawed, low bred, ill mannered grammar of your people. “I’m good, baw”

Store clerk: “I am Groot?”
Me: “I am Groot, I am Groot?”
Clerk: “I am Groot. I am Groot."
Me: “I am Groot, I am Groot?”
Clerk: “I am Groot. I am Groot."

Because it is incorrect, and subconsciously, you caught it.
Well is an adverb.
Either
"I am doing well" or "I am good."

You've never worked retail.
Most people don't give a shite about and feel superior to the clerks. Having someone actually ask the question back is nice throughout a shitty day.

Popeyes clerk: "Whatchu want?"
Me: "I'd like the #4 combo with medium-sized fries please"
Popeyes clerk: "Tamika, numba foe with a medium fry!"
Me: "I'd like the #4 combo with medium-sized fries please"

If that seems odd to you, then don't even respond to the original question like an a-hole

I listened to a woman who was working a service desk at a big box store. She was having to listen to complaint after complaint.
Immediately after each "request", she would say, "Thank you for your concern." And proceed to try to help.
No doubt she hated saying this every time

It does seem odd, but not offensive, to be thanked for minimally exchanging pleasantries like most of us do all day, every day.

Nah it’s more like this:
Popeyes clerk: “gohead"
Me: "I'd like the #4 combo, spicy, with medium-sized fries and a Diet Coke please"
Popeyes clerk: “what number?”
Me: “number 4”
Popeyes clerk: “spicy or mild?”
Me: “spicy”
Popeyes clerk: “medium or large?”
Me: “medium”
Popeyes clerk: “what’s your side?”
Me: “fries”
Popeyes clerk: “to drink?”
Me; “Diet Coke”
Popeyes clerk: “pull around to the parking spot”

And again, in retail, clerks do no experience this all day every day.
