Good morning!

I do think it would be particularly nice if people more often remembered to say something like "good morning" or "how are you?" before launching into whatever their actual requirement is. This covers work, shops, cafes, whatever ... are we really all so busy that we can't afford the 2.8s of courtesy, even if it's pretend? I know it's a kind of window dressing but I think it is all part of what makes the world go round. Smile and say hello, it won't kill you.
