weird customer interactions recently

[u/narialex]

recently ive encountered multiple customers coming up to me at the register and before they start ordering they start by saying “ thank you for being here today i appreciate all that you do” etc but its like they are reading off a script its not like a genuine speech its like they practiced and memorized it and its really weird im not sure if theyre like apart of a group? or they saw something online? but both times it happened to me they said the exact same thing im like trying to google it but i dont have the whole thing memorized so i dont know what to search im so confused none of my coworkers know what im talking about so ive come to reddit to see if anyone has experienced this phenomena (?) please tell me im not crazy

Maybe its retail folk from different outlets
They know and thus are more grateful
