AMERICAN SMALL TALK

>>135976313
First step - remove that nigger.

>>135976313
>say 'yes' while paying
fucking autist

Management requires it. Do you really think those employees give a shit about you or your life when you're coming in to buy a box of tissues and lube for the 4th time that week

Worst of all, this is what they expect you to do if you get a job like this. They need you to be social or normies won't shop there anymore. Don't they want to be done shopping as quickly as possible so that they can go back to doing whatever it is that normies do?

How do we fix autismophobia?

>>135976769
usually removal is the last step.

>Exucse me do you work here

happy, high test men make small talk easy. miserable people dont.

>>135976313
>person doing their job
>retards REEE

It's stressed to do this in retail; it establishes rapport while also giving the illusion that you give a shit.

America is a nation of extroverts, I feel this even more knowing that I'm an introvert but a loudmouth compared to a Finn.

Don't come to this country, by the way.

>>135976313
the self check out is the next aisle over, use that instead

>>135976313
Because we are not autistic.

Can someone drive to ops hous and kick him square in his ass for being such an autistic fagboi

>>135977267
Small talk is literally just empty noise, not unlike grunting and howling of low function autists.

>>135976313
It is a vestige of when we were a white country and people actually knew each other and chatted.

You knew the mechanic, you asked him about his recent fishing trip. You knew the grocer, you asked him about his granddaughter.

Now of course we don't have community anymore so it has devolved into a corporate script.

Too late, I'm a married man.

>>135977072

Making the small talk isn't the hard part. I just want to get the fuck out of the store. Usually I'm with my wife and we're already having a conversation by the time we get to the checkout, which we'll then stop because it's time to talk to some random about the peppers we're buying and how his son loves spicy foods...

>>135976313
It's a requirement, corporate sends in secret shoppers all the time to make sure you are talking to people, greeting them, up selling shit, making sure they feel great, etc. If you fail to do this you get a warning the first time and then a week suspension the second. And then fired the third I believe.

>>135976313
I wish someone would small talk with me. I miss having simple, meaningless conversations that were mostly pleasant. Now people are either buried in their phone or they are trying to hustle or scam with some sob story.

>>135976313
Is it really that big of a deal if the cashier is making sure, before you left the store, that you found everything you needed? It literally takes 3 seconds to ask you that, while they are ringing up your items at the same time. If they didn't ask you that it would still take the same exact amount of time to check out.

Seriously grow up, you loser. Saged and hidden.

>>135977107
But we have to kill all those retarded wagecucks lmao we need the automatons and feudalism!

>>135977149
>tfw will move to the US in 5 years
I fucking hate Finland and that is one the reasons

>>135977574
I remember those comfy days. I knew every neighbor on our street, all the people who worked at our local stores or post office. Everything was so orderly and predictable, in a nice way that I wish would have never ended.

>>135976313
I used to get confused when americans (especially south americans)customers came and asked how are you?
I didn't know if I was supposed to respond until I found out people ask that instead of saying hi,hello,morning etc...i would feel so autistic like...what im supposed to do?sometimes if it was a qt customer i would use the opportunity to talk to them and offer to show the city etc etc,got a few qts that way.
At least in my country when someone asks you how are you it's because they expect to hear an answer/they want to know not because they don't know people say hello.

>can't talk and pay for your items at the same time

Jesus, how autistic can you be?
Small talk is what makes this place great. I know the majority of the people don't give a shit about how my day was when they ask, but some do, and the people who actually want to know are what make the tradition of small talk basically everywhere a great thing.

God bless the USA.

>>135976313
you don't belong here

>>135976964
This desu. I always liked the people that shut the fuck up when I worked retail.

>did you find what your looking for?
>will that be cash or credit?
>does your card have a chip?
>would you like to donate for kids with cancer?
>would you like cashed back?

>>135976313

Europeans don't do this?

>>135976313
Personally, I agree. I might just be an autist, but I just don't really like small talk, honestly. I'd rather do something else rather than talk about my past workday with someone who'll I'll never talk to again.

Its called costumer service nigga

>did you find everything you needed
>no, i need x
>oh its over there, let me get someone to get it for you
>store made another sale
op is retarded

>>135978121
Walk into any bar in Europe and ask for a beer.......just say BEER

Bartender pours you any beer he chooses and gives it to you without saying a word

>>135976964
Seriously. Also I think I now hate old women. They never shut the fuck up.

>>135977959

There have been times where I have already paid and am waiting for the cashier to stop telling me a story. No, I'm not going to just up and leave because I'm not as autistic as you think I am.

I think the problem is more annoying here as most of the people are really old and love to take their time (I live in Florida.)

IIRC New York wasn't that bad

>>135978216
Yes, you are just an autist.

>Hurr durr I dont get the point of socializing when I can just rot my brain with electronics and shoot awkward glances at people in my beta posture.

You fags are the cancer that needs to be fixed. Not decent "normies" as you aspies call them.

>>135976313
Because we've become a service economy.

>>135978450
No, you mouthbreathing retard. You'll find spaniards are probably going to be way more talkative than finns, for example.

>>135978450
I went to Europe and was amazed by how simple everything was. When I came back to the states I realized how much fucking bullshit talking we do and time wasting on transactions.

>>135976313
They were taking my information at a store today and I saw her put in "male" and I said, no, I'm gender fluid. She asked what that was, I said a bad joke. Took a minute but the guy behind me and her both got it a few seconds later.

It's all some elderly people have though.

>>135978757
Some people actually want to choose their beer instead of being at the whim of a pretentious stranger who may pick something they hate.

Would you really want to pay for a fucking Bud Light you didnt want just because thats what he chose for you?

That sounds fucking awful. I swear millenials are just children. They are still looking for mommy everywhere they go. Like they cant function as an independent adult.
Dont even know what beers they like, need mommy to help them decide.

>>135978689

So who are the weirdos then? Just Finns and Germans?

>>135978757

Well yeah, but inefficiencies like that make us human. If all we had to do was go around and say BEER, FOOD, or SEX, things would be shit.

This also helps explain a lot about Europe though, kind of like bidets do.

>>135977637
You just sound like an asshole who can't be pleasant to people as you go about your day. No wonder your wife is fucking someone else.

>>135978450
Hummm if you're a tourist or you look like you simply don't want to talk yup,people won't go full we have an excellent selection of beers bla bla bla,usually in spain if someone doesn't want to talk we don't feel like we need to fucking bother them,at least in my case I would only bother with those customers that came everyday if not I would simply respond in kind so as not to be rude but since I couldn't care less for them i would simply answer back with whatever they said.
Some tourists are simply retarded though,I don't even work art a tourist related shit and some tourists would go and say "why don't you smile" i don't know where those fucktard came from but i had 4 different people tell me that (probably brits)i don't fucking go England on vacation and just because I'm on vacation expect them to be happy and smiling by being bothered by a tourist if they have been up since 4 am...

>>135977959

It's not just an American thing, Canadians and Brits do it too. Basically any non autistic white western country.
ie everyone except Scandinavians, google pics of their busstop line ups to confirm

It's only irritating to me when they give you these rehearsed lines. Usually, it is just a manifestation of our friendly, engaging culture. One of you foreign fucks was on here complaining about eye contact and smiling in the streets, saying it was insincere. It isn't. It's just part of the culture. In Germany and the Netherlands, it was alienating to go to a cashier and not have them look at you and barely even acknowledge you. Like the automatons are already here. Czech Republic was like walking around in a world of zombies. No eye contact, no acknowledgment of our mutual humanities. Just ice and alienation.

It's basically anglosphere thing, really.

>>135979155

If Spaniards small talk and Finns don't, then Spaniards are whiter than Finns desu

Maybe deep africans are white too. They sure love to talk about nothing a lot.

>>135976313

we do it because we have to, and it fucking sucks.
But it probably squeezes out a few more shekels in profits so it's gonna be done

>>135979452
They are everywhere

And these fucking Krauts and Nordics..... They won't say hello to you on the street and if you try to talk to them they look at you like you're a piece of shit. But if a Muslim walks up to them, and rapes them or steals from them, I guess that's ok because at least the refugee didn't attempt small talk. Assholes.

>>135976313
As an American, I agree.

I don't get small talk. I don't need to be smiled at or asked how I'm doing upon entering a store.

Just stfu, please. I don't need to talk about my day or anything like that.

>>135979750
No ones blaming the cashiers anon
You're only doing your job
>Except Trader Joe's
>I know your not posting to 4chan but plz STFU and let me leave

>>135978689
That depends on the spaniard usually most people go to touristic spots and come with the image of vacation and fun and shit like that thus expect everyone to be chill and talkative and smiling etc,i wasn't that amused after the thousandth lost tourists comes to me without at any point bothering to remind me he doesn't speak my language or trying to be polite about it but simply starts speaking in ebonics or bongistany and after I bother to tell help them while other real customers are waiting they tell me why don't you smile....It's almost as if they don't realise not everyone is fucking thrilled to have to help someone in another language spbecause he is retarded and can't follow directions or simply follow the other thousands of cattle tourists are...

>>135979469
It depends,if I go to the same place oftenly i do engage in small talk,normalfags like small talk and being polite opens a lot of offers and promotions autistics don't get,they'll offer you better shit,inform you of offers,etc etc,i can understand it because after many rude customers it feels good to find someone polite(even when I'm working if someone is polite,regardless of origin i would try to outshine him and help him in all i could)

The key to me has always been being polite,if you ask things please sir etc etc,you do get smiles and good service everywhere,if you act like you don't want to talk,or you aren't nice,people tend to give a fuck about you,at least that's how I've always seen it

>>135980020

No wonder German girls love refugees, it's probably the only male attention they've gotten in a long time

This is one of the perks of being here. People tend to leave you alone in restaurants and shops. If it wasn't for my American accent, I'm sure no one would ever strike up small talk.

>>135979854
Where do you think we are?

>>135979966
Thanks, shitstain. I've lived abroad for 20 years and I have some idea what "the world" looks and and oh hey: people make small talk. Only 4chan turboautists have problems with this.

>>135979961
Civilized thing would be two persons having profound discussion about well researched topics such as art, technology or politics or asking something you need an answer for and getting a fair response.

>>135980114

I've worked at walmart for 10+ years. I can tell you that the reason we workers ask you shit like that is literally because we want to take you to the backroom and suck each other's cocks. We see your autistic mannerisms and immediately realize you're a fellow faggot OP. Try it next time dude. Next time someone asks you if you found everything you were looking for tell them "No but I was looking for something in the back, perhaps you can come help me?"

When you think of the term autist on here its not a joke; pol literally calculated the coordinates of a flag for the hwndu shit using the stars and air traffic control maps. No we don't like talking to people IRL NOW FUCK OFF!!

Just tell them your life is bad, tell them the most recent intrusive thought you've had. Tell them what you're afraid of and why. Just say I'm sick and miserable. Get really anti semitic really fast.

Teach them a fucking lesson that's what I do. You start going semi oldfag and this shit becomes a war.

If you want to make small talk in Saudi Arabia, just find a Wahabbi and say something like "Muhammad y'akl kharat abu-Bakr". This is a blessing and a kind way of saying good morning. A poetic way, kind of like Sabah al-ful in Egypt.

I don't know but I hate it too, I wonder if it's played some small role in the death of retail. I know a lot of millennials (and autists) shop online, but I still go to the store because I want my shit when I want it. I don't want to be on UPS's schedule. I'd totally go to a completely automated store like that Amazon concept video.

It's fake giving a fuck about customers. Some of the dipshits feel better about themselves when being engaged in small talk, especially geezers. It's essentially a ploy to deprive gullible goys of their shekels, as taught by filthy Jews.

Now all that platitudes and lies coming from a Jew is starting to make sense now, doesn't it?

>> Did you find everything you were looking for?

That's not "small talk". That's customer service. The store clerk is required to ask you. The store clerk personally doesn't give 2 fucks if you , "found everything you were looking for".

Just say "yes thankyou". and stop being such an autist.

There is no need to start a thread about it on a politically incorrect forum.

Traffic cigarettes annon. $5

do people just stay at the counter after they pay just packing up their shit?

I like Finland because of Lemminkainen. That's not the only reason, but I like that guy. Sibelius wrote a piece called Laulu Lemminkaiselle which the US should change the lyrics to and make the national anthem. God bless Lemminkainen.

There's just some good stories about him doing Hercules type things. Fighting with snakes, but if you remember, he was also kind of a magician/wizard character. I need to pull that book out again. Also, the music that Sibelius wrote to represent him is great. Tells the story of the Swan of Tuovola , etc.

In many ways it is, not a big fan of their cities(sorry burgerbros, just not a fan of big extrovert crowds) liked Grand Canyon though and will return to USA for their nature scenery
