I always start with a big SMILE - if they do not say "Good Morning, How r u?" I do. With whatever they return I make the conversation engage (whether they like it or not) - asking if they ARE really "fine" or if something else could brighten their day - like a big tip! I say things like "Thank you SO much I really appreciate it" when they bring my food etc...

Killem with Kindness - Trust me they'll crack!

I hear what your saying but when I'm out spending my money I'm not about to try chearing people up. I'm not looking for my butt to be kissed by any means but if your in the service industry of any kind you should act reasonable towards people or get layed off.
