Comment on It's important!
CubitOom@infosec.pub 1 day agoNormally, at about 10 feet away I try to make eye contact and smile/nod during approach, then I’ll verbally greet at about 5 feet away.
This was something I learned while working at a resort and it stuck with me. By American standards, this is considered fast and early.

Holy shit yes. You walk in to a store and you’ll hear someone say it from the back. They really like to say hi

If they’ve made eye contact, yes.

Yup, can confirm. Also, if it’s past 6 pm, make sure to switch to ‘bonsoir’.
If it’s someone I know, I just say ‘salut’. It’s way more casual, and can also be used as goodbye to boot.
