They’re just looking to make conversation, and don’t know what else to say. They’re just trying to be nice, and they don’t realize you hear it every second of every day. I used to work at a local bakery in Chicago, and my favorite question was “Is it fresh?” I swear, I wanted to respond with “What? This thing? Well, gee. We haven’t made these in years. I just found it in the back yesterday.” Just smile and agree. That’s all people want.
